Self-Guided Interactive Advent Journey begins December 4th
On Friday, December 4, from 6 to 9 PM and on Saturday, December 5, from 9 AM to 3 PM, we will once again offer a special interactive devotional journey around our sanctuary. Each individual or family will be able to travel between stations to discover a deeper meaning to the Advent season and to the coming of Christ.
This is a self-guided event and provides reflective times, creative experiences and interactive devotional moments as we explore symbols, people, and spiritual practices that help us deepen our relationship to Emmanuel, God with us!
Come any time within the scheduled time periods and an Advent docent will help you begin your journey. A special gift is given to each individual or family completing the journey.
A Tabletop Journey through Advent
for kids, youth, adults and seniors together!
Take the hope of the coming Messiah, add a splash of Advent color, throw in some texture, an interactive study of God’s Word, and a spiritual discipline journey, and you have a new way to experience and prepare for the true reason for Christmas. This is an every-age experience! We look for families with children age 3 and up as well as adults and youth from our congregation to join together in this tabletop journey through Advent.
We will explore the Isaiah 11:1 passage “There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.”
Each week we will interact with this verse in a deeper way as we literally “take a journey” through centering, sharing, connecting, listening, wondering, applying and blessing.
Week 1: Stumps
Week 2: Roots
Week 3: Shoots
Week 4: Branches and Fruit
Carolyn Leah, Director of Children and Family Ministries, developed the concept for this original class as part of her Christian Education certification process in the Presbyterian Church (USA). It is a joint educational effort with Adult Discipleship at Beulah. She has been assisted by church member Ruth Ann Ritter, who created the fabric art journey mats that we will use each week with the course.
