a few weeks ago, we had our first ever worship gathering, called CONNECT. now, we’re eager to share with you about our second worship gathering that is sure to be a huge step forward.
we’re excited to announce modVent: an eikon advent celebration. on sunday, december 13 at 6:00 pm, we’ll be having this worship event at sticky fingerz.
so what the heck is modVent? for people who follow in the way of jesus, this time of the year is a time of renewal, of expectation—of advent. advent literally means “coming.” it’s a time of expectation of the birth and eventual death and resurrection of jesus of nazareth. traditionally, this is observed throughout the entirety of the month of december. for us, though, we will celebrate advent over the span on 2 weeks. hence, a modified advent. modVent.
through the lighting of candles, singing of a mix of traditional and nontraditional christmas hymns and through sharing in a time of hearing the christ birth story, we’ll celebrate this christmastime together.
following our first worship gathering a few weeks ago, we had some great verbal feedback as well as a sampling of online evaluation forms, so we feel like this worship gathering will really capitalize on what worked last time and shy away from what didn’t seem to connect with people. we’re excited, this time, about the opportunity to have quite a bit more interaction, the additional voices of people in our community and a bit of a more laid back environment. we’re also excited to announce that local musician mark currey and his band will be leading us in our time of music.
one final note of importance: just like our last gathering, we will be offering childcare, so be looking out in the coming days for how to register them.
so, mark your calendars, invite some friends, retweet this, put it on facebook. this should be an incredible night to celebrate the coming of christ.
see you on sunday, the 13th at sticky fingerz!
