Beginning November 13, 2022
Once again FELC will follow the ancient church practice of a longer Advent season – usually six or seven weeks beginning after All Saints’ Sunday. Advent is about much more than preparation for Christmas. It is a time for contemplation, repentance, hopeful waiting, and eager expectation of the restored world God is bringing through Christ.
Our current lectionary (the assigned readings for each Sunday) already contains bible texts that reflect these themes. Our liturgy will begin using the primary color blue, shift to a more contemplative style, and create opportunities for reflection throughout the liturgy and season.
To begin our extended Advent time on November 13, we welcome FELC music director Bryan Rust as our preacher.
