Advent Season 2013

...

The Advent Season for 2013 is well underway as we continue into the second week.  The tradition of the Advent Season is at its simplest a reminder to Christians that Christ is arriving.  The word advent is derived from the Latin word adventus meaning "arrival" and the advent season is a time of reflection and preparation for Jesus Christs arrival celebrated on Dec 25.

...

I personally like the tradition of the advent season since it helps me to stay focused during the distractions of the commercial "Holiday Season" on the arrival of Jesus Christ as a child in Bethlehem almost 2,000 years ago. It also helps me to remember that Jesus Christ will arrive again one day.

...

If you find yourself distracted by the commercial nature of Christmas or if you find yourself despairing about your personal relationships or finances I encourage you to rediscover the Advent Season and as the Advent Conspiracy movement describes it...

Worship Fully

Spend Less

Give More

Love All

Grace & Peace
