At Church, we will begin the season with a Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser for our Pantry Shelf Outreach program. This Friday, November 30th at 6:00 pm join us for dinner and advent wreath making! You can make an advent wreath for your home - everything will be provided for only $10! If you already have a wreath, pick up new candles and take a look at the daily meditation books and calendars that will be available. **
Now is the time to figure out how to make this advent special for you and your family. It doesn't have to be much - light your wreath at dinner, say a special prayer together at bedtime, create a prayer wall out of post it notes that everyone can help build or make a prayer chain to mark the days until Christmas. Make time to volunteer and donate money to those in need during this holy season. Take a little time now to decide how you would like to grow closer to God this advent! You'll be glad you did!
**Don't worry - wreaths, candles, booklets and calendars will be available in the Front Hall at Church on Sunday if you can't make it to the Spaghetti Dinner!
What wonderful ideas for staying close to the true meaning of Christmas, Leslie! I featured your post the Living Montessori Now Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/LivingMontessoriNow
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb! And thanks for all the great Christmas ideas on your blog today!
DeleteI'm so glad you linked to the Praying in Color calendars! Two years ago I used her Lent calendar and this year I think I'd like to do something like that again.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Storyteller! I think I'm going to try the candle one myself. I love praying in color!
