Advent Calendars are a fun way to build anticipation during the Holidays, but it’s about more than just counting down the days to presents on Christmas morning. Christmas is a time for thanking God for the gift He gave us in His Son. This exercise helps participants focus on a spirit of prayer by providing scripture readings and prayer prompts for each day leading up to Christmas. Just place each day’s scripture and prompt alongside treats in your family Advent Calendar. Then, choose a time that works best for your family to talk about what the scripture means to each of you and how you plan to pray on it throughout the day.
