Advent - Joy and Jesus' Family

We are preparing for and anticipating the birth of Jesus. Christmas isn’t here yet, but we are looking forward to it! This is a season of time that we call Advent. Each Sunday we light a candle as we tell the story of Jesus coming to the world. Today is the third Sunday of Advent.

Watch the video below to participate in our candle lighting as we light the candle of Joy.

Note: If you will be lighting a real candle, please ask your grownup to help.)

Wondering Questions

  • I wonder what it could have felt like to be at the stable the night that Jesus was born?

  • I wonder what brings you joy in your life right now?

Activity - Singing

Singing is such a joyful activity! We wish we could be altogether and singing in a big group to hear all of our voices at once! But since we can’t right now, let’s imagine that all of our voices are singing in each of our homes, and the sounds are rising up-up-up out of our houses, above our towns, and into the sky! Can you imagine the whole sky filled with singing?

This week, I hope your heart is filled with joy as we wait for Christmas!
