Advent
|
Advent comes from the latin adventus, meaning coming or arrival. It's also where we get the word Adventure. It is the four-week season of preparation for the coming of Jesus at Christmas. A good celebration always needs proper preparation. During December we often confuse this readiness with a ridiculous and stressful race into Christmas with excessive shopping and excessive eating.
Advent also taps into a sense we have that all is not well. A longing for the world to be made right again. That’s the theme of so many Christmas songs. Advent is the longing for someday things to be different. Things will change. Things have to change. It’s a season for restless hearts and people weary of a broken world who want, with all our being, to know there’s more than this. It is a time for hope. We hope for restoration. We hope for the renewal of all things. |
This season, why not journey with us as a church as we slow down, pray and seek peace in our own lives and in the world around us. We will use the Bible Reading Plan below, where you can do a daily reading with friends and family.
"People get ready"
