LakewayChurch 2023 Advent Guide - Flipbook - Page 2
Dear Lakeway Church,
Advent is the beginning of the Church Year in the ancient traditions.
It is celebrated during our church worship services as we light a candle
in an Advent wreath each of the four Sundays before Christmas. This
year, we wanted to provide you with a tool to help you and/or your
family bring a spiritual focus to this busiest of seasons. We hope you
will carve out a few moments each day to find some still quietness
where you can reflect on the real meaning of Christmas. In this guide,
we have provided some ideas for a special activity each week and a daily
Scripture reading. The questions offered could stir some meaningful
discussions or personal journaling.
We encourage you to make church attendance a priority throughout
the holidays to help you stay grounded in the Spirit of the season.
