THE MEANING OF ADVENT
Today we light the second blue candle
to represent the hope of Christ coming to the world. The word "hope" has two meanings in the Bible. The first,
tiqvah,
contains the sense of eager anticipation or waiting. The second,
elpis
, depicts a sense of confident expectation based on certainty. Biblical hope is secured by God's faithfulness to His promises. For the Old Testament leaders, their hope was in the Messiah's arrival. For us, it is the hope of the Messiah's return.
Advent comes from the Latin word “adventus” which means “coming” or “arrival” and begins four Sundays before Christmas. It is a season of spiritual preparation and penance in anticipation of Christ’s final return.
The liturgical color during this period is purple. The Advent wreath with four candles is a popular symbol of the season; three purple or blue and one pink which is lit on the 3
rd
Sunday to remind people to rejoice in the Lord. As a whole, the candles represent the coming of the
light of Christ
into the world.

Nov. 26 - Advent:
BECOMING BELOVED COMMUNITY -
Presenter Father Ed Thompson
“Becoming Beloved Community represents not so much a set of programs as a journey, a set of interrelated commitments around which Episcopalians may organize our many efforts to respond to racial injustice and grow a community of reconcilers, justice-makers, and healers.” This is difficult work. But we can do it. It’s about listening and sharing. It is about God. Please join us to begin this vital conversation. Hard copies of a summary will be available in the narthex and the parish office. You may access resources at https://www.episcopalchurch.org/resources-racial-reconcilation-and-justice.

ASSOCIATE’S CORNER: ADVENT CONSPIRACY
Christmas Can Still Change the World -
Several years ago, few pastors were lamenting how they’d come to the end of an Advent season exhausted and sensing they’d missed it again: the awe-inducing, soul-satisfying mystery of the incarnation.
No wonder there was a dread at the beginning of each new season as they prepared to proclaim, celebrate, and worship around the story of God entering our world as one of us. A creeping kind of idolatry was consuming them and their communities.
It seemed as if all were drowning in a sea of financial debt and endless lists of gifts to buy. An overwhelming stress had overtaken any sense of worship. People now believed the marketing lie that spending money is the best way to express love. This, combined with our mindset that “more must be better” was now consuming pastors and congregations alike.
Somehow, this had become the new normal; this had become everyone’s Christmas routine. Every year people were being devoured by the Christmas frenzy, and every year the Advent season ended with a sinking feeling that once again, they’d missed the point.
600 Billion Dollars
-
The amount of money Americans spend every year on Christmas shopping.
30 Billion Dollars
-
The amount of money it would take to provide safe water access to the entire world.
So, three pastors—Rick McKinley from Imago Dei Community in Portland, Chris Seay from Ecclesia in Houston, and Greg Holder from The Crossing in the St. Louis area—decided to try something different.
They called it the
Advent Conspiracy
, and came up with four tenets—
Worship Fully, Spend Less, Give More, Love All
—to guide themselves, their families, and congregations through their season of preparation for Christmas. They didn’t know what to expect, but deep down they sensed a longing to reclaim the story of Christmas.
The tenets are called the
four pillars
of the advent season. Another way to think of them is as
spiritual
practices.
So, you are invited to dive into the
four spiritual practices
to help you celebrate a more Christ-centered Christmas.
WORSHIP FULLY
– Because Christmas begins and ends with Jesus.
SPEND LESS
– Feel less stress, and free resources for things that matter to Jesus.
GIVE MORE
– Give relationally to offer one another
presence
, rather than merely
presents.
LOVE ALL
– Love the forgotten, the poor, the marginalized, and the sick in the ways Jesus asked us to. -
www.adventconspiracy.org
In addition to giving locally, as we do through our “Giving Tree” project and other ways, Episcopal Relief and Development
(
www.er-d.org
)
has ways to give internationally.
Marana-tha
! Come, Lord Jesus!
– Father Ed

Dear Trinity Families and Friends,
This past month I had the opportunity to visit all of the Middle School Advisories. I was proud to hear what the children were discussing with the collaboration and guidance of their Advisory (Recharge) leaders. Words like indifference and intolerable, judgmental and perception were not just thrown around, but were discussed in intentional and healthy ways. We as adults must recognize these little ears in the room and make certain we filter our conversations to ensure the innocence of our children endures true for as long as possible. There is a time and a place to have conversations with our children, and as the
adults, we
must be intentional and cautious in our
conversations --
as children are so literal in their thinking.
As children hit double digits in age they find out about Santa Claus; I remember when my magic was taken from me. I believe that this was a turning point in my life in becoming a young man. It also came with some innocence lost. We can look at this magical time of Advent as a time to prepare and to reflect and put things into perspective as we get ready for Christmas. We owe it to our children to let them be children for as long as possible. As the various tragedies of this year (Las Vegas and Sutherland Springs) unfolded some of the parents questioned which information should be shared and which
shouldn’t;
hopefully the attached article will be of some guidance. As a partnership we will continue to be proactive vs. reactive to ensure the safety and education of all of our children.
How To Talk to Kids about Tragedies In the Media
With warm regards,
Mark Ravelli / Head of School
