The ADVENT EVENT is a book about observing the four Sundays of Advent. It contains valubale information about the meaning of the symbols of the Advent experience, complete with scripting for the observances. This resource by Paul E. Kealy contains a complete devotional guide for these four special days of the Christian calendar with an explanation of the Advent Wreath or Advent Log and how families and churches alike can create and observe the season. Text for five complete ceremonies are included, with scriptures, prayers and devotions for each of the four Sundays preceding Christmas, plus the Christmas Eve ceremony when the Christ Candle is lighted. For those who do not understand what lighting the candles during the Advent season is all about, this special book is an excellent resource for families and churches alike. For those who are looking for a fresh, new devotional experience, this book includes permission to reprint the ceremony text for single-service observances in homes and church programs.
