CGS CANCELLED ON 12/14 FOR CHILD PROTECTION TRAINING
Advent in the Atrium
We are looking forward to participating in the season of Advent with the children. We will have our first procession of the year as the season changes to Advent, and we lay a purple cloth on the Prayer Table. We will light the candles on the Advent Wreath. We will listen together to the Old Testament Prophecies that foretold the birth of Jesus. We will practice the hard work of waiting together as we wait for the celebration of Christ’s coming!
Advent in the Home
In the Atrium, we will be pondering prophecies and narratives. A simple way to connect with what your child is experiencing in the Atrium would be to read one of these passages as a family as you light the candles on your Advent wreath. A simple reading is more than enough! You do not need to explain it, but simply enjoy it together.
The Annunciation to Mary (Luke 1:26-38)
The Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth (Luke 1:39-49, 56).
The Great Light (Isaiah 9:2a)
The Birthplace of the Messiah (Micah 5:2)
The Mother (Isaiah 7:14)
The Names of the Messiah (Isaiah 9:6)
