We Made Advent Chains

First, we made a list of people to pray for.

Then, we picked out paper to write the names on.

Last, we added names and put the chain together.

We talked about hanging the chain from the ceiling and tearing off one link each night and praying for that person.  At the end of the chain is the bell that reminds us that Christmas is here!

We played a game:  The kids were asked questions that they had to guess the answer to in teams.

And the VERY generous gift!

THANK YOU!
