Last month, the ladies (and often their tireless hubbies) of my church got together and with much sewing of tiny camels and other barnyard animals, wrangling of burlap, and gluing of tiny bits of velcro we created Advent calendars for the families in our church. Based on this calendar (by Noel Piper which has been discontinued), it is about the true meaning of 'Christ-mas' rather than based on 25 days of presents.
Each day has something to add to the Nativity Scene as we tell of the birth of Jesus. We will be reading the Christmas story from The Message (revised a little by my sister) along with some other scriptures which have meaning to us. Here is the complete list of advent scripture readings.
This week is all about how this story was written into all other stories from the beginning and that His coming was foretold, over and over again.
Sun. Is. 40:1-5
Mon. Is. 52:7-10
Tue. Is. 40:9-11
