Reinvigorating Advent: Exploring the "Why" Behind Annual Traditions

Description

Every church has a set of traditions that guide how they observe and celebrate the Advent season. Many of these traditions are a meaningful way for the community to mark this important season of preparation for the birth of Christ. 

 

But most churches and leaders overlook three critical questions:

  • What is the specific purpose behind this Advent tradition?
  • Who is this tradition serving in our church and broader community TODAY?
  • Is this tradition still fulfilling its purpose, or could it potentially be let go?

 

This workshop offers a practical and theologically rooted way to reflect on traditions with intentionality as your community plans for Advent this year.
