ADVENT KITS: PREPARING THE WAY
|
As we journey through this season of Advent together, we will be introduced to prophets or God’s messengers who helped prepare God’s people for Jesus’ arrival. We will also meet individuals who faced the unexpected and continued to prepare for Jesus, trusting in the promises of God for their lives. And finally, each week we will create time and space to prepare for Jesus through scripture readings, discussions, and activities together.
The kits have a lesson and activities for each week, geared to families. But the lessons use language and activities that are accessible to all ages. All are welcome to take an Advent Kit to use at home.
Also available will be two devotional booklets (more appropriate for older youth and adults):
