As the season of reflection unfolds, we are drawn to angels and their pivotal role in the miraculous tale of Jesus’ birth. These celestial beings serve as divine messengers. This year, you too can embody the spirit of an angel and share the joyous tidings of Jesus’ birth and His boundless love through our Advent Angel program. Interested souls may sign up beginning Sunday, November 10, to become an “Advent Angel” for one or more of our cherished Sunday School children, spanning Preschool to Grade 8. Your identity as an “Angel” shall remain cloaked in mystery until you choose to unveil yourself to your young charge during the gathering after worship on Sunday, December 15.
What does it take to embrace the role of an Advent Angel?
- Seek out the Advent Angel sign upon the table in the Commons.
- Collect as many envelopes as your heart desires. Within each envelope lies the name of one of our Sunday School students, allowing you to be a guiding light for multiple children.
- During the Advent season, send a heartfelt card to your assigned child(ren).
- Adorn the Christmas Tree in the Commons with an “Angel” ornament by Sunday, December 8, ensuring that the tag with the hole accompanies the ornament. Remember, your name must remain a secret on the tag!
- Gather in the Sanctuary on December 15 after Worship to reveal your identity and greet your “angel” child.
Our cherished legacy of Advent Angels demonstrates that the impact of your angelic ministry resonates far beyond this joyous season! We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your participation in this beloved tradition!
