Second Sunday of Advent: Exploring Love

Did you get to chat with your kid(dos) about their "self care kit" from this past Sunday? They had some really great insights about hope and anxiety!

This week, we continue Advent with the candle of LOVE.

For Kids Corner, we'll be adding Mary and Joseph to the scene (last week we the angels introduced the idea of hope). I feel compelled to talk about how love often means putting others before yourself, as seen with the way Mary and Joseph welcome Jesus (and ultimately in the love Jesus shows as he lays down his life for us). Loving others can sometimes be easy, but sometimes it's hard. Jesus invites us to love others even when it's hard- which helps us to better understand God's great love for us.

We'll brainstorm ways they can show LOVE during this advent season and make special ornaments :)

Blessings, Rachel
