Day 1-1/12/24

FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT
Bible verse: The days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will fulfil the good promise I made to the people of Israel. (Jer 33:14)
ACTIVITY 
Set up a reflection corner in a quiet spot and encourage your family, friends and teachers to do the same. Do you enjoy unpacking the decorations and transforming the home for Christmas?  Advent season is a time of preparation for the birth of Jesus. During the four weeks in Church, we will see a wreath with 4 coloured candles: 3 purple candles represent hope, love, and peace, while one pink represents joy. Every week we switch on a candle until we switch on a white one in the middle on Christmas day, which means the light Jesus brought to the world with His birth.

    • Distribute the four coloured candles around the plate and the white one in the middle.
    • Decorate the plate with leaves and flowers if you like.
    • Light the first purple candle, which represents hope.

PRAYER

Pray that every person finds hope in life closer to God and more peace with those around us.
