Celtic Advent

Do you ever feel like the holiday season is just crazy-making? Do you dread the rush that seems to come earlier and easier every year? Rev Brad shares, in today’s From the Touchline episode, about Celtic Advent. This intentional season begins every November 15 and is designed to help prepare people for the day (Dec 25) and the season of Christmas which has become so commercialized and commodified that, for many it leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Learn more about this ancient custom of preparing one’s heart and life for the arrival (advent) of Jesus Christ.
