Dear Church Family,
Advent is a season of preparation, a time of prayerful anticipation. The very atmosphere of Advent stirs our hearts, as we make ready to celebrate the birth of Christ.
Please utilize this resource to help your family make Jesus the focal point of the holiday season. In keeping with our children’s ministry philosophy (that parents are the primary teachers of their children and that the home is the most important context for learning), we offer this Advent devotional guide as one of many tools for you to heed the instructions of Deuteronomy 6.
Set aside a little time each night to fill in the next blank in the Advent Calendar located at the end of the booklet. On each of the four Sundays during Advent and Christmas Eve, you will light the corresponding candles on the Advent wreath and read the devotion as a family. Activity suggestions are included for each week.
So, gather the family, bring your Bibles, and enjoy this wonderful season together with Christ.
May the Lord richly bless your family in 2010.
