The Christian Education committee is offering Advent Devotionals so that you might deepen your faith as you await the celebration of the birth of the Christ Child. The devotionals will be available on Sun., Nov. 20, on the table outside of the East Transept and on the Christian Education table on the Second Floor.
Look Around the Manger
Children (pre-school and younger)
This devotional booklet introduces different characters who are part of the Christmas story. Read a Bible verse each day and learn about the figures who gathered to welcome our newborn Savior. The devotional comes with a cut-out manger scene and stickers.
Let’s Go See the Savior!
Children (all ages)
This devotional booklet encourages children to accept the invitation of the angels, shepherds, prophets and kings to look for the promised Savior throughout Advent. Each devotional includes a Scripture verse, prayer, and reflection.
Lift Up Your Heads
All ages
Place this pop-up Advent calendar on a mantle or table. Lift up a numbered window each day, and when Christmas arrives, an entire nativity scene will appear where there was once an empty field—a wonderful reminder that Jesus was born to fill our emptiness with love and hope eternal.
From Heaven to Manger
Families or individuals of any age
This devotional explores the meaning of Advent through prayer, reflection, Bible verses, and action. This resource is wonderful for personal reflection or for discussion shared with loved ones as you Journey each day to Bethlehem.
Peace, Hope, Light
Adults
Deepen your Advent experience with insights from C. S. Lewis and reflections by Dr. Joel Heck. The daily Scripture, quotes, reflections, and prayers will enrich your Christmas preparations as you await the Savior who comes to offer peace, hope, and light for all.
What a wonderful array of choices depending on the age or interest of the person or family. Thank you for identifying these items and making them available. I look forward to using the C.S. Lewis booklet.
