Advent Family Celebration

Bring your family and friends. Listen to Christmas music and enjoy a light snack while you work together on an Advent wreath to highlight the season of Advent. Advent is the four week period that precedes Christmas, a holy time of anticipation not of presents but of the coming of Jesus. The word "advent" means "coming" and refers to the coming of Jesus as anticipated by the Old Testament prophets. "Coming" also refers to the fact that Christ has come, and that Christ will come again. Come as a family to make an Advent wreath with candles for each week of the season. Then set aside some time at home each Sunday evening and make the celebration special: take turns reading and lighting the candles so that everyone can actively participate in what might become for you a warm family tradition.

 

Christmas Pageant

Always a highlight of the Christmas season, the children's Christmas Pageant is a delight to adults and tons of fun for all the children of Sunday School age. Participants range from sheep with socks for ears to glittering angels dancing; from rough and tough shepherds to be-splendored wisemen. The story leads us to the focal point of it all, God coming to live among us. Of course, half the fun is watching the adult leaders prompting, encouraging, and comforting from the front row
