Making Advent Logs this Sunday



This Sunday after the 10:00 Eucharist, we'll make Advent Logs like the one in the photo above. We'll supply the log, the candles, and the greens, plus drills and staplers. Kids can make these, as well as adults, and it's a fun activity. The holes for the candles are drilled, then the greens are stapled on.

Advent logs have four colored candles, one for each week of Advent, and one white candle, for Christmas day. The candles can be lit each evening with a short devotional as a way of observing the season of Advent. By lighting one candle each week, the slow anticipation of Advent is experienced.

I hope we'll have fun with this activity this Sunday!
