Advent/Christmas Plans Made

Posted on November 27, 2015

 
Advent is a time for preparing for the celebration of Christmas
Advent is a time for preparing for the celebration of Christmas

Each year, we look forward to the Advent/Christmas season.  Technically, Advent covers  the four Sundays prior to Christmas  while the liturgical Christmas season goes from Dec. 25 until Jan. 6 which is Epiphany (12 days of Christmas).   The Advent season is intended to be a time of spiritual preparation leading into our Christmas celebration.  But in practice for me and in most Protestant churches that I know about, the two get blended together.

The high points of our celebration at Copper Hill Church this year will be Christmas Sunday morning ( 9:30 AM) and Christmas Eve (5  PM).   This year our message series will focus on the Carols of Christmas and what they teach us about Jesus.  Don’t you just love the old-fashioned carols?

“Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.” Col 3:16-17 NLT

      We are singing Michael W. Smith’s “Christmastime” on Dec. 20. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVrQkgLM-PQ You would have only one rehearsal (maybe 2), but it’s not very hard. You could try it. I could email you the music if you want. Blessings, JoAnne
