Today, I entered a church ready for Advent and Christmas:
I'm thankful to God that my new church practices Advent. I didn't experience advent until I started going to First Baptist in JackVegas. Even then, I didn't get it. I understood that we sang songs, lit the candles, and heard one of the children of the church mumble through a reading, but I didn't understand what things meant. Hopefully, this year will be different. Usually the more liturgical churches (Catholic, Episcopal) celebrate and understand Advent and Lent. I'm glad that there are other denominational, non-denominational, and interdenominational church who are embracing these kinds of traditions that help us focus on Christ.
