Advent Devotional: November 30 – December 25:
Advent is a fancier way of saying “arrival.” It’s a time of waiting, of anticipating the
coming of something (or someone) great. The birth of Christ, His advent, marks
God’s ultimate plan for our redemption. In Christ, we see the fullest picture of God’s
hope, peace, joy and love. It is our hope that this guide will encourage and
facilitate personal time spent in the Word and provide a resource for families with
children to do that together.
