Celebrating Advent in the Home

Christmas music, Christmas decorations, and Christmas lights are every where!  It's that time of year again! Most notably, "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year", Christmas can be overwhelming for many families.  How can your family slow down and focus on Advent?  Many families have Advent Wreaths that they use in devotions or during family meals.  Last Sunday families at St. John's made Advent wreaths with live evergreen branches and candles to use at home.  Here's a crafty idea on how you and your little ones can make an Advent Wreath without greenery or candles.  Here is a brief outline of scripture and prayers your family can say as each week you light a new candle.

Enjoy this season and wait!  Wait for the God who comes down to show His love for his people.
