Lectionary-based; five sessions; one session for each Sunday of Advent, plus readings for Christmas Day.Advent 2008Come to the MangerAn Advent Study Based on the Revised Common LectionaryRobert KaylorAs Bob Kaylor writes in his introduction to this Advent study, “There’s no greater birth story in the world than the one we celebrate on Christmas. It carries with it all the elements of a great story: anticipation, conflict, hope, heroes and villains, and a surprise ending.” He invites readers to feel the joy and the pain with every verse from the prophets to the Gospels. He reminds us that Advent is a great time for us to gather and listen to those stories again, with “fresh ears and with eyes wide open for new possibilities.” Through the study of the Revised Common Lectionary texts, Kaylor invites us to see God’s face, to find our way to the manger, to identify a vision for vocation, to build God’s house, and to behold Jesus.A five-session leader’s guide is available for use in Sunday school classes or other small groups.Bob Kaylor is pastor of Park City Community United Methodist Church in Park City, Utah, and is a clergy member of the Rocky Mountain Annual Conference. A 1995 graduate of Asbury Theological Seminary, Bob is also the Senior Writer for the preaching journal Homiletics. Bob is married to Jennifer and they have two children, Hannah and Rob.
