Last Sunday after the 10:00 Eucharist we made Advent Logs. The materials were provided, and people jumped in with enthusiasm to drill holes in the half-logs, and then to staple on the cedar greens. Each person or family took away a lovely Advent Log with candles to light each evening during the season of Advent.
Lighting candles during Advent provides the slow anticipation that characterizes the season. The first week, only one candle is lit; the second week, two candles; and so on. A good way to observe Advent.
It was fun watching the children get excited about creating something for their home. Even the adults enjoyed it! About 15 logs were made. I hope we'll do more activities like this.
