The Advent season is already upon us!
Sunday, November 27th, a new church year began.
The season of Advent, a time of waiting and wondering, is here.
We encourage you to begin thinking about how you are going to mark the weeks and days of Advent in your homes. If the idea of an Advent Wreath is new to you, here is all you really need to know: The key components to any Advent Wreath are four candles, one for each week of the season, plus a fifth ‘Christ’ candle to be lit on Christmas Eve.
We light the first candle on the first Sunday in Advent, the first and second candles on the second Sunday, and so on. As the name “wreath” suggests, some kinds of greens, in the form of a wreath, traditionally surround the candles. Typically, the candles are blue or purple to match the liturgical color of the season - and sometimes the third candle is pink. You choose which ever color of candle suits your mood for this season.
How ever you choose to mark the weeks of Hope, Peace, Joy and Love in your homes this year, we hope you will consider placing them in your sacred Zoom worship space so that we can share them with one another. We will light the Advent Wreath candles toward the beginning of each worship service in Advent beginning this Sunday. Let's wait and wonder together, Sunday mornings at 9:30 am on Zoom.
