Many years ago, our daughter's kindergarten teacher gave her a beautiful Christmas gift - a booklet of Scriptures and a numbered candle. Each day that December, we gathered as a family and read the scripture for the day by the light of the candle and then took turns praying about the verses. These prayers were simple at first. "Thank you, Jesus, for being the light of the world," little voices would pray. We continued this tradition year after year, and as our children grew, so did their prayers! This became a time of praise and worship to Jesus for His indescribable gift of salvation. Rich conversations about the true meaning of Christmas developed into this devotional book. At the heart of Christmas is love. God's love for us compelled Him to send His Son. Christ's love for us caused Him to leave His home in Heaven to be born as a little baby. Our love for Jesus, in response to His great love for us, should lead us to give Him our praise and worship, not just at Christmas but all through the year. We are often so distracted that we fail to love God with all of our hearts, souls, minds, and strength as He deserves. This Christmas, give God the gift that He most desires, your heart. To prepare your advent candle, you will need a taper candle, a sharpie, and a candle holder. Starting at the top of the candle, number from 25 down to 0 in descending order. You may want to put a dot next to each number and write the year and "Happy Birthday Jesus" at the bottom of the candle. Beginning on December 1st, light the candle, and let it burn down until the first dot and number are gone. As it is burning, read the Scripture and devotion for the day. Let one more number and dot burn away daily as you read and pray until Christmas day. As you countdown the days until Christmas, ask God to help you to fall more and more in love with Him. Give Him the gift of a heart full of love and praise. Our family is praying for you that God will greatly bless you as you spend time with Him reading His Word this Christmas season.

If you're looking for a fresh way to make lighting the Advent wreath a meaningful and relevant part of the worship service, this is just what you need. Richard Hull has written brief conversational dialogues that relate the wisdom of the prophets found in the Advent lectionary readings to modern life. In each "conversation" two people reflect on the assigned reading and talk about life and faith, leading to the lighting of the candles. The presentations are accompanied by an informative essay explaining the background and history of the Advent wreath. Covering all three lectionary cycles, this is an excellent resource for any size congregation -- and they're also great for devotional use by families in the home. Best of all, the informal tone of the writing will make worshipers feel like participants instead of observers. Use these dialogues to discover ancient truth in a contemporary setting. Richard J. Hull II is pastor of Riverside Avenue Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Jacksonville, Florida. The Riverside Cast, a theatre group in his present congregation, makes regular worship presentations. A graduate of Bethany College (West Virginia) and Yale Divinity School, Hull has also pastored congregations in Indiana and Pennsylvania. While in Indiana, he co-founded the Tipton Community Theatre. Hull is the author of the three-volume Lenten worship series Symbols Of Sacrifice (CSS). Robert G. Alexander, who contributed the background essay, is a retired trial attorney and a freelance writer from Jacksonville, Florida. He is a graduate of Davidson College and the University of Florida College of Law.

THE FIFTH CANDLE OF ADVENT. Meditations for each day This book offers a meditation for each day of the Advent guiding us in our journey toward Christmas. The Advent Wreath has four candles that we light as Christmas approaches... They remind us that it is time to put before God the shadows that inhabit our life: a project full of uncertainties, the bumps we are hitting in our relationship, a disease... But on the horizon of Advent the hope of a fifth candle remains, the only one capable of lighting our night. This candle must be lit by God. The great mystery of Advent is not our path, but the path of God towards us, a God that comes. He is always coming to meet us... In Advent we prepare to recognize the light of that candle which will shine on the night of Christmas. Its brilliance will fill us with wonder because of its smallness. These meditations are meant to be a path of hope and to help us recognize the light of that fifth candle as we keep our eyes opened to receive it.

Here is a resource that will dramatize the lighting of the Advent candles during your worship service. The lighting of each candle is proceeded by a statement, which the author suggests may be read from offstage. The series of statements reveal the significance of the traditional Advent characters: the angel, the shepherds, the wisemen, Mary and the Christ Child. This simple but dramatic resource provides an explanation of the deeper meaning of the events preceding Jesus' birth, as they spell out the relationship of these individuals to Christ, the Light of the World. Wayne L. Tilden has served as a Minister of Drama and Instructor of Music and Drama at various seminars. He is the founder of "The Salt and Light Company," a drama ministry. He holds the Master of Divinity degree from American Baptist Seminary of the West, Berkeley, California. Tilden is also the author of Letters From Bethlehem, a series of dramatic monologues for Advent (CSS Publishing Company).

When we join a group, be it Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Rotary, or Kiwanis, we expect to give it time and energy to fulfill the mission of the group. If we dont participate, we receive no benefits from our membership. We dont join a family, God puts us into one, but the same thoughts apply. Being in a family that lives separately under one roof is a huge loss. God could predict this, so we have the passage in Deuteronomy 6, which is worth re-reading from time to time. Prepare Our Hearts will give you new thoughts about your Christmas celebrations. It may help you appreciate that many people before us have longed to be ready for the birth of the Christ child and have taken time to alter their patterns and make room for activities that inspire. Advent, the four weeks before Christmas, can be a wonder-filled time for families to begin the practice of gathering as a family for a common purpose. During Advent, we prepare our hearts, thoughts, and homes for the coming of the Christ child. It is a perfect time for sharing, reading Scripture, and special stores about Christmas, singing, praying, and lighting the candles in the Advent wreath. The family is encouraged to plan for others and enjoy activities together. Families need encouragement in our day when many forces intrude. Think seriously how your family lives in December. Use the suggestions to make your own traditions. Most importantly, dont allow the precious years with your children to vanish into nothingness. Prepare Our Hearts will contribute to memory-making that will be remembered long after the gifts exchanged no longer fit or hold interest.
