Why the Christian Seasons?
The seasons of the Christian Year - Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent and Holy Week, Easter and Pentecost - give shape and form to our corporate worship. The early church had largely established the seasonal celebrations by the fourth century and the Roman Catholic Church reconfirmed this ancient calendar in 1969, followed by many Protestant churches (see "How the Christian Calendar Came To Be" for more).
Jesus is the Reason
The rhythm of the seasons and the gifts and insights each can offer lend a structure to our worship that helps to keep the church pointing towards its Lord and Saviour, Jesus the Christ.
