Advent at Dixboro Church
This past December we as a congregation came home together to prepare joyously for Jesus’ birth. We brought in the Advent Season by kicking off our Dixboro Friend Ministry, as people had the opportunity to meet their special friend during and after worship. It is a blessing to see the young and young at heart meeting and talking with one another. I look forward to seeing how these new ministries will blossom and grow throughout the year.
The first Sunday of Advent we gathered in the Fellowship Hall to make Live Greens Advent wreaths and Family Friendly Advent wreaths. We also handed out Advent Bags to our families filled with ways to prepare for the birth of Jesus including an Advent Calendar, Christmas story cube, Nativity book, Nativity stickers, Advent/Christmas songs, and glow sticks to break on Christmas Eve.
The second Sunday of Advent was our yummy cookie walk with an added cookie decorating station and card signing and ornament making for homebound and missing in action members. It was a fun day of being the church together.
The third Sunday of Advent was our music Sunday, which celebrated this joyous season in song. We were blessed by a variety of singers from our cherub choir to youth choir to college friends to our Chancel Choir. Afterwards we gathered for our Soup and Salad Christmas Party
On the fourth Sunday of Advent we focused on the Nativity story with Griffin & Kelsey Charnetski narrating the story as shepherds while the kids put the characters on a felt board. Brooke Burns and Callen Savage explained their map of Judea including Bethlehem and the stable where Jesus was born.
Christmas Eve night we worshipped together even though it was a snowy night. We came together to welcome Jesus into our lives once again as a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. We shared communion together and sang Silent Night by candlelight.
