ADVENT IDEAS
Advent Begins: Sunday November 29, 2015 & Ends: Thursday December 24, 2015
#1 Advent Wreath: One
of the ways GCPC will celebrate Advent this year is with an Advent wreath. There are candles lit during the 4 Sundays
leading up to Christmas. The first is the prophecy candle or the candle
of hope; the second is the Bethlehem candle or candle
of preparation; the third is the Shepherd candle or the candle
of joy, the fourth is the love candle or the candle
of peace; and the center white candle is the Christ candle, lit
on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day symbolizing the birth of Jesus. See additional handout included further explaining
each candle during Advent Season.

(Available for $7 on the Resource Table):

Devotional by Marty Machowski
#2
Jesse Tree: In addition to the Advent wreath another way to
prepare for Christmas is using the Jesse Tree devotional. The Jesse Tree will encourage us as we look
through scriptures from the Old Testament creation through Jesus’ birth. The tree is named Jesse (King David’s father)
a key figure in the genealogy of Jesus.
