Unearthing the Wonder of Advent

"Every single creature is full of God and is a book about God.

Every creature is a word of God. If I spend enough time with the tiniest creature, even a caterpillar, I would never have to prepare a sermon. So full of God is every creature."

-Meister Eckhart

Advent is a time to prepare and reflect on what was, what is, and what is to come.

Each day we can be preparing our hearts and our minds for the hope that we find in the birth of our Savior.

In Unearthing Wonder we pick up the book All Creation Waits to open a window each day of advent onto the natural world.

We reflect on how wild animals adapt when darkness and cold descend upon them BUT how the dark is not an end but the way a new beginning comes!

Each morning or evening, whichever works best for your family, we will read the suggested passage from All Creation Waits aloud to our children, then read the verse, we will read the commentary, and then do the included activity, and sing a Christmas carol or hymn.

We invite you to join our families in this new tradition that creates space for rest, strengthened relationships, and more family time together.

Won't you join us?!

We have three holiday guides available The Christmas Guide 1, Christmas Guide 2, and Unearthing Wonder. If you would like to get all of theses guides at a discounted price you can grab the The Holiday Bundle here.
