There are some changes to the German churches – St. Marks and Martin-Luther-Church – but some thing remain the same. Advent, a time of waiting, In Latin, “Adventus Domini” means “waiting for the arrival of the Lord.” In German, this is “Ankunft” or “Ankunft des Herrn.” Practices associated with Advent include keeping an Advent calendar, lighting an Advent wreath, reading from an Advent daily devotional. The photo above shows (from left to right) Deputy Consul General Johann Michael Stocker from the German Consulate General Vancouver, Beatrice Schreiber President of the German Canadian Business Association and Pastor Ingrid, newly installed Senior Pastor at the St. Mark’s Evangelical Lutheran Church. This was during the Introduction of Ingrid Cramer-Doerschel on Sunday, December 5th at 9:30 am.
