The Advent season is here! The liturgical color for advent is purple, symbolizing the royalty of the Lord.

Advent is the beginning of the liturgical Church year, and a time of expectant and joyful waiting for Christmastide: the celebration of our Lord’s incarnation.

There are several events and items of celebration to bring to your attention. All are optional, but all are encouraged.

Advent celebrations at McLains

Each year, the McLains host advent celebrations in their home each Sunday of Advent at 6:00 PM with a time of singing, an advent liturgy, and feasting on various finger foods (which you are welcome to contribute to if you come).

Williamson County Community Chorus

The Chorus will have their annual Christmas concert on December 5th at 3:00 PM. There will be a few fun Christmas songs in the first half, and then will conclude with a beautiful and glorious Magnificat in the second half.

Christmas Eve Lessons and Carols

St. Mark will host our annual Lessons and Carols on Christmas Eve at 4:00 PM at TCA. This service will include the traditional readings and carols. And, in addition, the St. Mark Men’s Choir has prepared a couple of additional pieces.
