Celebrating a Seven Week Advent in the Home
I am trying to assist in a move back to a seven-week Advent. I know I am swimming against the tide, but I am convinced that the church needs to move back to this more ancient pattern found in both Celtic and Orthodox traditions (unbroken centuries of seven-week Advents in Orthodox churches).
Last year, King of Peace joined a half-dozen other churches in experimenting with a seven week Advent. We found that we need a connection to the day-to-day lives of parishioners as is more common in Lent if this longer Advent was to be meaningful. To support this, we have created a booklet found here as a PDF: Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord: A nightly service for a seven-week season of Advent

There is no need to change the Revised Common Lectionary readings to move to a seven-week season. For more thoughts on moving to this longer season read the blog entries: Prepare Now for Seven Weeks of Advent.
