CELEBRATE IN YOUR FAMILY!

Amidst the busyness of the Christmas season, do you have time to remember the amazing hope that Jesus brings?

Advent is a time of waiting and remembering what life was like before God moved into our neighbourhood. It is a time to soak in the before so that we can enjoy the contrast of the after. It provides us with a rhythm in which we can remind ourselves how much the world needed and was anticipating Jesus and it provides us with time to get ready to celebrate him. A significant part of this is reflecting on how much we and the world need the hope of Christ! This Advent, we invite you to join people around the country and slow the December roller-coaster down a bit to remember... remember your need for hope and remember this hope that we have to share. We’re providing a bunch of ideas for each week of Advent, to help you and your household get ready for the good news. With a bit of thought and planning, Advent might be the most spiritually rich part of the year for your household!
