Journey Through Advent with OSC
Yesterday, our church community began the season of Advent together with an intergenerational worship service of storytelling and music. Kids and adults alike had the opportunity to make and take home their very own Advent wreath, which has five candles to be lit each week leading up to Christmas day!
I have crafted a GUIDE for individuals and families of all ages to use for a weekly time of candlelit reflection. Whether you choose to follow along with your own advent wreath, electric candles, or other sources of light, we encourage you to join us on this sacred journey through hope, peace, joy, and love to Christmas.
