What does Advent mean?
• From Latin: “To come, the arrival”• Remembering the Coming of Christ so
long ago at Bethlehem: aka: The Incarnation
• Looking forward to the Coming of Christ at the end of time
• Realizing the coming of Christ, every day, into our lives

How we Celebrate Advent
• Slow down and be quiet• Pray in “watchful anticipation”• Perhaps around the Advent Wreath (very
symbolic)• Perhaps around the Jesse Tree (also symbolic)• SUBTRACT, not ADD
How is this possible during the holidays?
