Mount Zion to celebrate Advent with revival SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE For millions of Christians throughout the world, Sunday, Nov. 29, marks the beginning of Advent. Advent is the season of the year leading up to Christmas and is observed with various traditions and rit uals by churches and other liturgical groups. The Advent Season lasts for four Sundays and ends on Christmas Eve. For a number of years now, Mount Zion Baptist Church in Winston-Salem has conducted an annual revival as the focal point of its Advent Celebration. Dr. Serenus T. Churn Sr., host pastor stated: "We want our members and the community-at-large to be in rever ence and readiness for this holy season.
