Advent begins on Sunday, November 27. This is the beginning of the Church calendar; we begin with four weeks of expectation and preparation for coming of Christ.
Our adult Sunday School classes will engage in a unified study during Advent. The study is based on the book/movement Advent Conspiracy.
This study seeks to free us from the rampant consumerism that has come to dominate Advent and Christmas. We know this season more for sales and shopping than for the birth of the Savior. Jesus has become an excuse to buy, buy, buy. Advent Conspiracy reminds us why celebrate who we celebrate.
It has four main tenets, which we will study in order one a week: Worship Fully, Spend Less, Give More, and Love All.
May this liberate us from the idolatry of consumption and return our attention to the Infant Savior.
