For Advent we take 15 - 20 minutes for stilling and meditate on a passage from the Bible, then someone shares some thoughts, then we say some liturgy together - all takes about 45 minutes we light Advent candles and have lots of other candles around. We then eat a simple meal together - homemade soup (well we're in Scotland where it is cold!) good bread, fruit and cake. Time to wait and reflect than time for a bit of community and talking together - we do this for the 4 Saturdays up until Christmas - it's an antidote to all the rushing.I blame Doris Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04872679446316095656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31229073.post-89436767247793708772008-12-03T22:50:00.000-06:002008-12-03T22:50:00.000-06:00each week we're going to center on the idea of "what christmas is good for"<BR/><BR/>week 1: why a baby?<BR/>week 2: why send jesus?<BR/>week 3: why did we need a savior?<BR/><BR/><BR/>makes sense kinda. in my head. right now.ramblingsofpassionhttp://ramblingsofpassion.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
