Advent 2011
Dear A10ers,
Every year at Area 10 we celebrate the birth of Christ during a 4 week celebration known as Advent. During Advent we take time to pause in the hectic holiday schedule and remember the birth of our savior Jesus Christ who entered our world, to take away the sins of the world.
Our focus on Advent is important because Christmas is such an overly commercialized holiday. So it becomes even more necessary in the midst of that to remember the true reason for the season.
Together we are all reading together the Anne Voskamp journal you can download here about the Jesse Tree. This is a great way to see the roots of the historical Jesus in the Old Testament. Each day you can read this by yourself or with your family or friends. There is an ornament that we have for you to decorate that represents the story for that day. Decorate them with style and perhaps even post them to the A10 Facebook page. Feel free to include your own throughts and reactions to the readings of the day on the A10 page so others can see how you are interacting with it.
