Advent at Trinity

From the Latin word for “coming”, Advent is a time of preparation and anticipation for the coming of Christ both in the past in His incarnation as the baby Jesus, but also in the future with His promised second coming as Christ Triumphant. At Trinity, we celebrate Advent with weekly Wednesday worship experiences and during our Sunday morning worship.

Weekly Advent Activity Cards

We want you to grow in God’s word and grow in community this Advent Season. Each week on Sunday mornings we will pass out a new advent card that has scripture, a reflective devotion, an activity, and a discussion question. Feel free to work through each week on your own, but we greatly encourage and challenge you to find a friend or a family to join you. Take photos and share them with us as we root ourselves in God’s word and grow in the community as we prepare our hearts for Christmas.

Missed a Sunday or not in person that week?

No problem, each week will be available for download here on our website.

Week 1: Prepare

Read: Matthew 3:1-12

Reflect: The whole creation is waiting, not for the children of God to go to heaven, but for Christ to return and make creation free of corruption. Then it will be, once more, the dwelling place of God’s sons and daughters…” Read the Full Devotion Here

Experience: Make a bucket list of Christmas traditions or activities you enjoy, and then get together with friends or family and go do one or some or all of them.

Discuss: If Christ was returning right NOW, what would your immediate reaction be? Would you be excited, scared or bummed out? Why do you feel that way?

Week 2: Restore

Read: Isaiah 11:1-10

Reflect: “Our Savior does not leave us to flounder in our sin. Isaiah tells us: ‘The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him–the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD… ’(Isaiah 11:2). By his promise, spoken at our Baptism and renewed again and again for us in his gospel, Jesus creates and sustains new life in us.” – Read the Full Devotion Here

Experience: Get together with friends or family members this week and go for a walk or drive. See if you can find signs of life among the fading fall colors, look for Christmas lights, or play in the possible snow. Be sure and take pictures!

Discuss: Jesus comes from the root of Jesse and becomes the branch that bears fruit and brings us life. Was it important that He be born of Jesse’s lineage? Why?

WEDNESDAY EVENING ADVENT WORSHIP

Join us at 5:30pm on Wednesday Evenings for a meal, activity, and worship.

The meal is potluck style, although you are not required to bring anything to attend.
