Christmas is a time filled with anticipation. We look forward to days off work and school, singing Christmas carols, and opening beautifully wrapped presents on Christmas morning. We wait with great excitement for the celebration ahead. In that season of anticipation, the Church celebrates Advent.
Advent is a season of waiting for Jesus and preparing our hearts for Him. We don’t have to literally wait on Jesus—He is alive, and we can talk to Him anytime. But as we look forward to the thrill of Christmas, we want to get ready.
This guide will help the families in your ministry to take time and consider what it means that Jesus came to earth as Immanuel, God with us.
Grab this reading plan for the families at your church and share encouragement this Christmas season.
