Advent Week One<\/h3>\n

We celebrate the coming of Jesus at Christmas<\/a>, but Jesus is always coming to us. The heart of Jesus is to come and love us, always.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"\u2764\ufe0f\"\u201cBeloved, let us love one another 1 John 4:7<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

God helps us to prepare our\u00a0hearts, minds\u00a0, bodies, and spirits for celebrating\u00a0JESUS\u2019 birth in\u00a0the season of ADVENT. GET READY\u00a0, ALL SET,\u00a0now\u00a0LOVE!<\/p>\n

Week 1: \u201c<\/strong>Love one another.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Activity<\/h3>\n

What’s your very favorite activity, game, outing, or sport!\u00a0 Perhaps you will invite or encourage someone you have never shared this activity with before. Now\u00a0write about, draw, or take a picture of you encouraging the team player or \u00a0winner of that game you invited them to join you in for the first time. With a mile-long-smile \u00a0smile, congratulate him\/her by offering a high five, fist bump, or thumbs up! Pray\u00a0about and\u00a0think of other\u00a0ways you can show the\u00a0love of Christ during these weeks of\u00a0ADVENT.<\/p>\n

Prayer<\/h3>\n

\u201cDear LORD as YOU (we) prepare our hearts for CHRISTmas, help us love\u00a0\u00a0one another, for love\u00a0\u00a0comes from You. Everyone\u00a0who loves\u00a0has been born of God and knows God.\u00a0Thank YOU, Father! Amen.\u201d<\/p>\n
