The Advent Event is a fun, easy, and enriching family activity to help focus attention on the event of the birth of Jesus while discovering the big picture of God's plan throughout the entire Bible. Kids of all ages will enjoy the craft, stories, sounds and motions that walk throughout the whole bible, with special emphasis on Christmas day.
Each day in December brings a new story to tell, a new motion to learn, and most importantly, a special family time that Moms and Dads can use to connect to the deep, spiritual significance of Christmas; the birth of Jesus, our Savior.
The Advent Event is about more than Christmas day. It is a walk though many well know and theologically important stories of the Bible that help to teach children about the character of God and the unfolding story of redemption.
The Advent Event spends several days leading up to Christmas telling the different aspects of the Christmas story, punctuating the special event of the greatest gift mankind has ever received, the perfect Lamb of God in the baby Jesus.
With all of the busyness of everyday life, capturing special moments can be so important to the family. The Advent Event is designed for parents to set aside special time with their kids in each day December to learn, sing, laugh, and enjoy.
It's easy. Really. You don't need to be a Pastor or have a Theology degree to create an enjoyable and memorable impact on your Christmas celebration. Just follow these simple steps and you are on your way to creating some fantastic new holiday memories.
