 Advent For the Family
December
24th, 2012
It's
Christmas Eve! 
 Begin by lighting the 4
candles. If your wreath has a center place for a candle,
place a single white candle there! Otherwise, you can
replace all the 4 colored candles with white candles!
Christmas
Carol:
Silent Night
Silent
night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child.
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent
night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavely hosts sing alleluia;
Christ the Saviour, is born!
Christ the Saviour, is born!
Silent
night, holy night,
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.
Bible
Reading:
Matthew
2
The Visit of the Magi
1After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in
Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi[1] from the
east came to Jerusalem 2and asked, "Where
is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw
his star in the east[2] and have
come to worship him."
Activity:
Hopefully you attend church tonight so there might not be
a lot of time left for craft activities. Light your
luminaries that you created earlier and sing carols
together as a family.
Bake
or buy a birthday cake for Jesus. Sing "Happy
Birthday" to Him!
Read
"The Greatest
Gift"
Recipe
Idea: Make some cookies for Santa - and yourself :)
