Advent (which comes from the Latin Adventus, the coming or the arrival) starts on the Sunday nearest
to St. Andrew's Day (November 30) and is "the beginning of the church year". It is a period of preparation for
the celebration of the birth of Jesus at Christmas.
This page guides you to how Advent 1999 was celebrated at the Scarsdale Congregational Church.
