The Four Last Things: An Advent Education Series
“Advent is not for the faint of heart” says the Episcopal Priest Fleming Rutledge. We often think of Advent as a warm-up for Christmas, but it is better understood as the “Midnight of the Christian year” where we contemplate on the Four Last Things of the Christian life: death, judgement, hell, and heaven. In Advent, we are invited into the deeper mysteries of the Christian faith where we prepare ourselves for the second coming of the Lord at the end of all things. The Four Last Things are not something to fear, but something for us to ground our hope because we believe that all things will be restored and made new at the end of the age.
We invite you this Advent to join us for our Advent Christian Education Series on The Four Last Things: Death, Judgement, Hell, and Heaven. Our first session is on Sunday, November 15 at 9:00am and we will continue through the Advent season. All are welcome, and there is no prior reading required.
If you wish to meditate further on the Four Last Things, we invite you to read Advent: The Once and Future Coming of Jesus Christ by Fleming Rutledge. This education series is not a book study on this book, but it is a book that will help you explore the themes of Advent in a deeper manner.
Schedule:
Nov 15: Introduction to the Four Last Things (Fr Don Beyers)
Nov 22: Death (Elaine Rowe)
Nov 29: No Christian Education
Dec 6: Judgement (Fr James Shire)
Dec 13: Hell (Christine Yee)
Dec 20: Heaven (Fr James Shire)
