You are invited...
Society invites you to the Christmas Frenzy.
Wait for the biggest sales.
Feel the pressure to spend money.
Remember how many shopping days until Christmas.
Look forward with dread.
Prepare to shop, decorate, shop, wrap presents, shop…
Celebrate giving and getting.
Hear complaints about wishes unfulfilled.
Share stories of lengthy return lines.
Work to pay off the bills.
Live, thankful that Christmas is over for another year.
God invites you to an Advent Adventure!
Wait and wonder.
Feel God’s amazing love for you.
Remember your blessings.
Look forward with hope.
Prepare to experience joy.
Celebrate Jesus’ birth.
Hear the Spirit urging you to respond.
Share God’s love.
Work for peace and justice.
Live, in God’s kingdom, here and now.
