The Advent sermon series is based on the beautiful hymn we're using for the Introit, “People Look East.” Each week, we will take the image of Christ from a verse and develop that image. When we are expecting company, we tidy up the house and put everything in order. How would we prepare if we really expected Love Incarnate to come and live with us?

Advent is a time of waiting, and a season of preparing for Christmas. First Baptist Church of Athens Georgia offers devotions prepared by our members to bring you daily inspiration during Advent. The devotion begins with the music of Greensleeves, played on flutes by Sarah DelBane, followed by a reading from a daily carol, then a personal reflection on the question, “What brings you hope this Advent and Christmas season? The carol reading today is verse 1 from People Look East, read by Matthew Baxley; the personal reflection is from Elizabeth Eidson.

I'm a fan of Christmas, and love the traditions. Looking back, I realize that even holiday tradition (for me) has changed, adapted, morphed, been rediscovered or dropped entirely. Perhaps tradition should be only what we make it. 1 Welcome 0:00 2 Prelude “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” by Bing Crosby 2:02 3 Opening Words “One Small Face” by Margaret Starkey 5:09 4 Kindling the Chalice and the Advent Wreath: Second Sunday - A Candle of Peace 5:56 5 Hymn 225 “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” 7:46 6 Kindling the Children’s Chalice 10:31 7 Sharing our Abundance: RISE (Reconciliation in Solidarity Edmonton) 11:18 8 "I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas” by Bing Crosby with Ken Darby Singers 13:05 9 Receiving the Offering 16:37 10 Hymn 238 “Within the Shining of a Star” 17:08 11 Sermon “Christmas Tradition” by Rev.

On this first Sunday of Advent, we harken back to the days of yore. The Christmas holidays have come a long way from the early days of the Pioneers.
