I’ve noticed a theme in the Bible. God sets up different celebrations for his people. It becomes undeniable that God intends celebration to be a key part of discipleship. The great thing for us is we don’t have to write celebrations from scratch, though if you have milestones in your family’s faith story, absolutely celebrate those! I grew up knowing nothing about the church calendar, but have slowly started to learn a big appreciation for the guided celebrations. Traditions, smells, special colors, and décor prompt us to remember over and over Christ’s beautiful work in our lives. Danielle Hitchen has talked about this most consistently over the past couple of years, and I’m excited to have her answer more of my questions specifically.
-What is the church calendar?
-How does the church calendar help us remember Jesus?
-How do you celebrate Advent?
-What are some foods you associate with the church calendar?
