Advent 2007

Advent For the Family

Are you looking for a new tradition for your family - one that
will remind everyone of the true meaning of the season?

Celebrate the four weeks of advent together as a family and create memories that will last a lifetime. Christmas can be a time of chaos if we aren't careful. Dedicate time daily during these 4 weeks to spend time together as a family and focusing on the birth of Jesus.

How to get started....

Start your family advent celebration the 4th Sunday before Christmas. This year,
Christmas 2007, advent begins on Sunday, December 2nd.

Buy or make a simple advent wreath with 3 purple candles, 1 pink candle and 4 white candles. You can make your celebration as simple or elaborate as you desire. Using our calendar below, follow the daily activity guide. Each day of advent we will present you with a reading from the Bible, and a craft, game or snack suggestion. Feel free to complete as much or as little as your time allows.

Some of the crafts are elaborate and some are very simple. Look ahead and view the various craft suggestions. Feel free to modify to fit your schedule.

The snack and recipe ideas are to enhance your advent evenings. Do not feel compelled to make every snack or use every recipe. The recipe ideas are just something extra and add them when you have time. Once again, look ahead and view the recipe suggestions and modify to fit your schedule.
