Advent 2012

Our culture has a "hurry up" attitude in the days between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's so easy to get caught up in it the flurry of activity. This is why I love Advent. This is the season where we slow down and remember. Here's how the Worship Sourcebook describes Advent:

The great proclamation “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us” assures us that God has entered into human history through the incarnation of the Son. The season of Advent, a season of waiting, is designed to cultivate our awareness of God’s actions - past, present, and future.
