Advent 2025
The four Advent candles are a beautiful Christmas tradition. Each one has a special meaning reminding us to prepare our hearts in the weeks leading up to Christ's birth. When we focus on God and keep our minds on Him this holiday season, we are able to rest in the perfect peace of the world.
Let's use the five candles of Advent to guide and prepare our hearts for the season in celebration of Jesus’ birth. Return each week for a brief devotional time with a word, song, scripture writing and prayer being mindful of what is happening in the world today.

*About the Activities​
​
-
We included a couple of Visual Faith® practices. They can help us remember His Word and serve as reminders of God’s presence in our lives. They can help us focus and slow down with the distractions of our noisy, busy, media-driven lives.
-
Scripture Scribing is the practice of copying a Bible verse or passage in your own handwriting. This practice slows us down, positions us to interact with details in The Word, and often reveals nuances in even the most familiar of verses.
-
Visual prayer is the practice of slowing down to write, color, or doodle during a focused time of prayer. This includes beginning with a printable image or your own hand-drawn "tangle" design. Adding words, coloring, and doodling all help with slowing down, paying attention and dealing with distractions. In this way, visual prayer creates a visual representation of your time with God.
