The Light Before Christmas

This new four-week Advent family devotional was highlighted at our Advent Mom’s Night Out. It uses a story of a girl and her grandmother preparing for Christmas to introduce each week. There are three devotionals a week that guide your family through a study of light and darkness to discover how the theme of light weaves its way through the Christmas story and God’s plan of salvation. Each devotional includes a Scripture for the day, an object lesson, a focus Scripture, a question to discuss as a family, a song to sing together, and a prayer. We preordered copies of this book. If you are interested in one, please contact Moriah Leeds.
