At our small Ozark church I put up the advent wreath bulletin board for the season of Advent. I used the marbled card stock and glitter from our local walmart.
Advent is a Catholic event before Christmas to prepare for the birth of Christ and the second coming of Christ. So each Sunday in December before Christmas we light up a certain candle for peace, hope, joy and love. No other secular decorations are allowed until Dec 22nd. So no trees, no santa, no reindeer- nothing but the Advent wreath. It is a nice calming tradition in the chaos of the secular holiday. It is a good time to reflect, reconcile and renew with Christ in your life. We are so blessed in this country to have the freedom to worship and honor our Creator openly.
Hope you have a Merry Christmas and a great new year.
