ADVENT In Action Week One
Advent Week One
We celebrate the coming of Jesus at Christmas, but Jesus is always coming to us. The heart of Jesus is to come and love us, always.
Enjoy this fun way to celebrate Jesus coming to you today and everyday. We encourage kids to reproduce this Jesus Coming activity and add or draw your own pictures next to words that speak to you. Advent week one starts with love from God and Jesus.
“Beloved, let us love one another 1 John 4:7
God helps us to prepare our hearts, minds , bodies, and spirits for celebrating JESUS’ birth in the season of ADVENT. GET READY , ALL SET, now LOVE!
Week 1: “Love one another.”
Activity
What’s your very favorite activity, game, outing, or sport! Perhaps you will invite or encourage someone you have never shared this activity with before. Now write about, draw, or take a picture of you encouraging the team player or winner of that game you invited them to join you in for the first time. With a mile-long-smile smile, congratulate him/her by offering a high five, fist bump, or thumbs up! Pray about and think of other ways you can show the love of Christ during these weeks of ADVENT.
Prayer
“Dear LORD as YOU (we) prepare our hearts for CHRISTmas, help us love one another, for love comes from You. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Thank YOU, Father! Amen.”
