Go here to read a great post by Kristen Gilles, about the Advent season and why it's such a great observance for the Church to participate in. Kristen and Bobby Gilles are part of Sojourn church, which includes more liturgy in their gatherings than our church does. But our church will be focusing more intentionally on the Advent season among other things, this year and in the future.
Here's how Gilles defines "Advent:"
This season of Advent is a re-enactment of Israel’s wait for the
birth of their Messiah, and a symbol of our longing for Christ’s return.
Read this post to help prepare yourself for corporate worship on Sundays this month, but also to help you focus your individual devotions during the Christmas season, and for your family as you observe Advent at home with your spouse and kids.
Keep checking back for more on Advent!
