Advent Season Devotional
2011
First Christian Church

Advent
season begins the Christian Church Year.
It includes the four weeks before Christmas day not including Christmas
week when it begins on Sunday. It is a
time of preparation for the Feast of the Nativity and is observed with some
fasting, prayer, and meditation to dispose all to welcome Christ. The Eastern Orthodox Catholic Church
considers this the most Holy time of the year because God sent his Grace into
this world with the birth of Christ. The
season as we observe it includes the spirit of love, joy, hope and peace.
It is appropriate to include the spirit
of love, joy, hope and peace in our devotionals. Also, it is meaningful to remember Grace came
to us in Christ's birth. That in itself
is reason enough to celebrate Advent season.
