Reverse Advent - 24 Days of Giving
Instead of receiving something each day as Christmas gets closer, or even simply counting down the days, why not reverse the idea and choose something to give to someone? A Christ centered idea indeed – since Christmas is all about God giving himself to us as a baby.
This doesn't have to be complicated or time consuming. How about gathering an item a day for the food bank, a family shelter, or baby items for a pregnancy center? Perhaps your family prefers to do a random act of kindness or to pray for someone different each day.
Whatever your family chooses the reverse Advent calendar encourages us to think of others as we wait to celebrate Jesus’ birthday. What a great way to serve this Advent!
Reminder: Faith Formation classes are on Break for Advent & Christmas from November 20 - January 12th.
