Advent Wreath:
picture from: www.sharefaith.com
This past week the second candle was lit on the Advent wreath. Ornaments were available for each family on the tree. If you did not have an opportunity to pick up an ornament here is the information listed on the candle:
Week 2: A week of Preparation - As a family, you can brainstorm a list of things you do to get ready for visitors. Talk with your children about things you would do differently if Jesus were coming to stay at your house. Then light the first 2 purple candles on your Advent wreath. Pray that God will bless your preparations for His Son's arrival.
Other information to share about the second candle on the Advent wreath. This is a purple candle representing preparation. Discuss how just as we get our homes and churches ready for Christmas, we also get our hearts ready for baby Jesus. Read Mark 1:3-4. One way of preparation for Christmas is to let other people know that Christmas is all about the birth of our Savior.
Following the service each week during the Advent Season, families are encouraged to take one ornament from the tree. This coming week there will be pink candles symbolizing Joy.
Grace Kids Worship
The children all did a great job on Sunday singing Bible Book Bop and I'm Gonna Shout
Way to go Kids! Keep on singing God's Word!
Look for new songs soon that the children will be learning. Continued reinforcement of the Bible Book Bop will help your child with learning the books of the Bible in order. Another good resource to help your children with learning the New Testament Books of the Bible is from a Seeds CD: New Testament Song
