Did your journey as a Christian begin in a church that celebrated Christmas and Easter yet none of the other holy days of the church year?

Mine did. And this book is for us.

Welcome to More.

The denomination of my formative Christian years didn't celebrate the church year. We had Christmas, celebrated on the Sunday before, and Easter. Those two Sundays were the only ones devoted to special events of the church. We were a very plain church.

My soul was unsatisfied. I didn't know that I needed More, and that part of More was discovering the church year as a consistent reminder of God's interaction and relationship with His people.

Gradually, I encountered elements of the church year. Lent entered my world because my high school French class celebrated Mardi Gras. From an almanac calendar I learned Halloween was followed by All Hallow's Day. Epiphany and Pentecost were Christian words that I heard but never understood their importance, not until many years later.

Advent begins the church year, and I've learned to celebrate More. Join me as I share a bit of More with you, from Advent to Pentecost.
