Subversive Advent Angels

I've just finished writing the blurb on the Christmas card that we send round our Parish. In it I'm suggesting that we could all do with a minimalist Christmas. By this I mean unplugging all the light pollution that goes with Christmas so that we can see the real star. The thing is, I know, the Light still shines brightly for those who are looking, but some have lost their way with the tinsel and the tat. We have a little Advent Bible Study group that meets every week with us in the manse. We've decided we're going to do a few subversive things this year to draw people's attention to the real light. Last Sunday at the Ceilidh we handed out little St Andrew Flags and invited people to write prayers for our nation and town. Last night our group of Advent Angels slipped don in the dark into our town and pinned all the prayers on the Christmas Tree in the Market Square. We decided we'd claim back the tree, give it meaning. S we're on the lookout for more Advent subversive things to do. If you can think on any please let me know. We'll keep you up to date with our subversive ministry.
