Advent 2013 Series
Welcome to ADVENT 2013!!
The word 'advent' literally means 'coming' but when we use it in association with this time of year it carries a strong connotation of expectancy and anticipation. I suggest that what we anticipate is: a) the celebration of the first coming (advent) of Jesus and also b) the reality of His 2nd coming (advent). We remind ourselves in this month that we have the privilege to live between the 2 advents of Jesus. We do some physical rituals - like lighting candles and choosing themes - to help us pay attention to this season in which we live. At ICB, we have chosen the following themes which will be represented by candles:
