Today’s blog is short and sweet and contains an Advent gift for you! I am sure that you realize that the beginning of Advent is a mere three and a half weeks away. On the Sharing page you will find an Advent calendar ready for you to download and copy.
A unique feature of this particular Advent calendar is that it ties Advent to Easter. Jesus’ birth many years ago is worthy of celebrating! We are fortunate that we also know that Jesus conquered death. To help children (and youth and adults) remember that Christmas and Easter are linked together, this Advent calendar transforms into a cross by Christmas Day.
Use this Advent calendar in the way most appropriate for your ministry setting (or personal use). Although the calendar was designed with children and their families in mind, youth and adults who are young at heart may also enjoy using it. You may choose to print the second page on card stock to make it sturdier. Encourage children to invite their entire family to complete the daily activities with them during Advent.
Happy Advent planning!
