from Family & Children Ministries Advent provides an opportunity for families to be intentional with already established traditions by taking time to sit down together to light the advent candle, say a prayer, read a scripture, and provide deeper meaning to the season.
Also check out the “The No-Rehearsal, Every-Child-Gets-A-Part Christmas Pageant.”
from Disciples Peace Fellowship Disciples Peace Fellowship members have prepared peace-oriented readings for the lighting of the Advent wreath each Sunday of Advent, in part to accompany their annual Peace Sunday resource.
from Disciples Women Disciples Women, as part of their seasonal program series (see Christmas 2009), offers “Awake, Awake! Prepare the way for the Lord,” for congregations. The resource is intended to help focus on the ways that we might prepare ourselves for the coming of the Messiah, God with us and step outside of time for this brief moment and focus on God.
