Advent For the Family

December 8, 2012

It's Saturday!

Begin by lighting the first purple candle on the wreath. Be sure and light the same candle as you did last evening.

Christmas Carol:

The First Noel

The first Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far,
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night. Refrain

And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a king was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went. Refrain

This star drew nigh to the northwest,
O'er Bethlehem it took it rest,
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay. Refrain

Then entered in those wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee,
And offered there in his presence
Their gold, and myrrh, and frakincense. Refrain

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord;
That hath made heaven and earth of naught,
And with his blood mankind hath bought. Refrain

Bible Reading:

Psalm 89

A maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite. [
1]
1 I will sing of the LORD's great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations. 2 I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you established your faithfulness in heaven itself. 3 You said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David my servant, 4 'I will establish your line forever and make your throne firm through all generations.' " Selah

Activity:

Sweet Surprise Holiday Cards

Recipe Idea: Sweet Snack Mix

14 cups popped popcorn
3 cups crisp rice cereal
2 cups salted peanuts
1 pound white confectionary coating (almond bark)
3 Tablespoons peanut butter

In a large bowl, combine popcorn, cereal, and peanuts. In the microwave, melt coating and peanut butter, stirring occasionally. Pour over popcorn mixture. Stir to coat. Spread evenly on waxed paper. Allow to set for at least 2 hours. Store in airtight containers.

Closing Prayer: Did you enjoy making the Christmas cards tonight? Do you know some people who might be lonely this season? Why not share your creations with them and brighten their holidays. You could get together with a group of friends and visit nursing homes or hospitals. It's the little gestures of kindness that make a difference! Light your world this Christmas season! Close this evening's activities with prayer.

End with a GIANT GROUP HUG!
