There are a number of things we do every Christmas at Fairhaven, but this year we’re excited to share something new with you!
Advent, the four weeks leading up to Christmas, is traditionally a time of anticipation and reflection for Christ-followers. Often, Christians mark this season by lighting candles and reflecting on specific biblical virtues in preparation for the celebration of Jesus’ birth.
To help you and your family make the most of this Advent season, we’ve created a charming Advent Devotional Kit! This kit includes a modern set of advent candles and set of beautifully illustrated cards, one for every day of Advent, each featuring a Scripture passage and a devotion for reflection. They’re not only for reading, but also for display! The kit comes with a wooden stand for you to showcase them in your home, both as artwork and as a reminder of the season.
How to Use It
Each day during Advent, gather your family, light the appropriate candles, and read the Scripture and reflection printed on that day’s card. It’s an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and celebrate the true meaning of the season. When you’re done, place that day’s card at the back of the stack to reveal a new one.
The candles come in sets of five: one for each week of Advent and an additional one for Christmas Day. Traditionally, during the first week of advent, only the first candle is lit. Then during the second week, the first and second candles are lit, and so on. Additional instructions will be provided in your kit.
Pricing and Availability
You can purchase the full Advent Devotional Kit for just $25, which includes both the candles and the illustrated devotional cards. If you prefer to use your own candles, you can buy just the cards for $10. These kits also make great gifts!
Supplies are limited, so reserve your kit(s) today, and ensure you’re ready for a meaningful and intentional Advent. You will be able to pick up your kit at your campus during the month of November.
We look forward to celebrating this special Advent season with you!
