Let’s Celebrate Advent

Email This Post

of course christmas is on every one’s mind: shipping, decoration, partying. unless you come from a mainline denomination, you may not be familiar with advent, though. where christmas celebrates Christ’s birth, advent celebrates his coming. now christimas is included in advent, but not visa versa. advent is a season, a holy longing, waiting for Christ the savior, who was manifest as a baby human.

one of my favorite Advent celebrations is the wreath and candles. every year we use the advent wreath and candles in the amplify service. unlike most of our service, which is dynamic, loud, etc…this time, when we light the candles, read advent scripture, and pray advent prayers is solemn, consecrated, and mysterious. it’s really easy, deeply spiritual, and profoundly significant. if you have kids at home, i think they’d really like this tradition.

above and below are links with more information on what advent means, how to celebrate advent, how to make an advent wreath, etc.
