With the Season of Advent fast approaching what preparations is your place of worship making to observe this time in the life of the church.  Advent is the beginning of a new church year - do you celebrate the beginning of the new church year?

Our church is having a four week preparation for Christmas - it will be held on Monday nights the first session being on Nov. 24 and the last being Dec. 15 - I am looking forward to this.
