Advent:  As we head into the Christmas season, we realize that every family has its own traditions, its own special way of celebrating the birth of Christ. Some families enjoy the preparation of Advent, and for those who do, we recommend The Village Church's  Advent Guide. The guide includes personal as well as family devotions, and a number of activities to do together with your family as you prepare for the celebration of Christmas. The Village Church has graciously agreed to share their publication with us free of charge. You can find it and download it here. Should you have problems downloading, we have a limited number of printed copies available through the church office.
