Here we are, in the thick of Advent! Are you stressed yet? Let’s stay focused on the things that are truly important and help our kids to do the same. Danielle is sharing 6 ideas for ways to nurture your kids’ faith lives this Advent season.
1. Scripture Verses
You might add some relevant Scripture to an Advent calendar or spend some time reading the Book of Luke.
2. Nativity Scenes
There are lots of kid-friendly options to choose from! Here are a couple of them to get you started, from Fisher Price and Bible toys.
3. Jesse Tree
This doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. You can check out places like Etsy for beautiful ornaments or search online for printable versions.
4. Advent Wreath
This could not be simpler– even just small candles in holders with ribbons can help mark the season. Pray together when you light them!
5. Community Service
Think of someone you know who could use a visit, some service, or a surprise gift. Enlist your kids’ help in getting it done!
6. Advent Storytime
Make bedtime rituals extra special in the weeks before Christmas by reading some Advent-themed children’s books. Tomie DePaoloa is a favorite!
At the end of today’s show, Danielle shares a message from listener Karen who offers feedback on our recent episode about hospitality.
