I got a little taste of Advent when our Church was sharing our building with the Lutheran congregation. I saw their decorations, and shared in some of the discussions concerning Advent.
Having grown up Independent Baptist, and spending most of my time as a Southern Baptist, we simply never "did" Advent.
I'm thinking, for the 4 Sundays in December leading up to Christmas, I'd like to focus on Advent-ish stuff.
This is NOT a debate thread, so please don't argue whether Advent is or is not a good thing, or whatever.
I'm simply asking those of you who have experience with Advent to share your thoughts and ideas. What does Advent mean to you? How do you observe it, etc?
