Mack’s Advent Class

“VOICES OF ADVENT” begins November 30 from 9:00 am to 9:45 am. How do we think about Advent? Sometimes we do little more than connect it to the Christmas season. Other times we think about worship music that is less upbeat than usual. I imagine all of us think about the lighting of the Advent candles, which is an important part of our worship leading up to the celebration of Christ’s Nativity. But does Advent mean something more to our Christian faith? Does Advent have something to say to us? Dr. Matthew L. Skinner, New Testament Professor at Luther Seminary, believes it does, and has created an Advent course to teach us how to listen to Advent and what to hear. I will be leading his course during the four Sundays of Advent titled “Voices of Advent.” The four topics will be: November 30: The Voice of Jesus, December 7: The Voice of John the Baptist, December 14: The Voices of Mary, Zechariah, and the gospel of John, December 21: The Voices of Angels and Prophets. All classes will be held at 9:00 in the upper classroom, just to the right of the elevator on the second floor of the church. There will be delicious breakfast snacks as determined by the teacher. This year fruit may be included. We hope you will join us for “Voices of Advent.” The student book is online (it is not required to purchase) for you to order or in digital mode at Cokesbury, Amazon, Christian Book and Abington Press. See you at 9:00 am on Sunday, November 30.
