1 THE ADVOCATE African American Ministry Newsletter Gye Nyame NOVEMBER 2013 Advent/Christmas We re about to enter the season of Advent/Christmas (December 1 January 5 th ). It s time for us to prepare so we enter the season with our eyes focused on celebrating the birth of our Savior. We can provide the kind of experiences that will help each other do more than get caught up in the hustle and bustle of shopping for gifts and decorating. Resources are available for study and to give you a different way to celebrate. Check out resources available from your church at: Our resource center in Winston Salem can be a big help. Advent John the Baptist points to Christ, as depicted by Matthias Grünewald ( ). This was a favorite image of the theologian Karl Barth. Advent means coming or arrival. During the season of Advent, we celebrate Christ s coming into the world and watch with expectant hope for his coming again. In its historical origins, the season of Advent was patterned after the season of Lent, a six-week period of penitence and preparation for Easter. Similarly, the four weeks of Advent present an opportunity for communal discernment and personal examination, as the church prepares to celebrate the Nativity of the Lord and looks with hope for Christ s return.
2 Nativity of the Lord / Christmas Since at least the fourth century in Rome, Christians have celebrated the incarnation and nativity of Jesus Christ on December 25. There is more than one theory about the origin of this festival day. Some have suggested that it was established to replace the Roman feast of Natalis Solis Invicti (the birthday of the unconquered sun ). Others believe that Jesus was conceived on March 25 (coinciding with the date of his crucifixion, as recorded by some witnesses in the early church); December 25 is exactly nine months later. Regardless, the time between December 25 and January 6 (Epiphany) has become an occasion for the church to celebrate and give thanks for the arrival of God s Word made flesh the light of God that has come into the world, the light that even death could not extinguish. From the PCUSA website Let us Pray, For: Dr. Catrelia Hunter and the Mt. Vernon family, on the death of Rev. George Hunter - We extend our sympathy to Dr. Hunter and the faith communities of Mt.
