Many years, it’s hard to focus on the preparation for Christmas because Christmas begins happening all around us with parties and events the moment Thanksgiving ends. But this year, we aren’t hosting our traditional gatherings. We have more time with our immediate families to focus on our spirits. Might we use these at-home moments to prepare together for the coming of Christ?
Below is a link to a PDF of our Advent & Christmas brochure to guide you at home for the seasons of Advent and Christmas. You’ll find in the brochure a schedule of all virtual and outdoor in-person events, how to make an Advent wreath at home, a request for you to take a photo with lit candles for our virtual Christmas Eve video, information about children’s participation, at-home devotional guides for Advent, and ideas for celebrating Christmas and Epiphany as a family.
To accompany the brochure, we have also created Advent Kits with supplies to use with this guide. These are available at the church office during office hours beginning Monday, November 23rd. You can come by to pick one up, or call/email the church office to have one delivered at your home.
