Opportunities to be Engaged DURING ADVENT SEASON
Advent theme: What are You Searching For?
Not only does this theme and the question it asks reflect the intention behind Advent, but it also is a prayer avenue to explore. What are you searching for as you walk in this season of longing, waiting, preparing, and anticipation? Do you know? What do you hope to discover, to find, for yourself, or others you care for and love?
The following are some of the ways you can be engaged with God, God’s Spirit and your fellow church community travelers.
Scripture Reading for Advent using the Common Revised Lectionary
For those who enjoyed and were challenged by reading the Bible, chronologically, for an entire year; we thought, at the last minute, to provide you with the Lectionary readings for each day of Advent. There will be, on average, 4 readings per day. Check out Pastor's Corner page for the complete list of readings.
Families Celebrate – An Advent Deck of Cards
For those families with children or grandchildren responsibilities, we have a novelty approach to the Advent-Christmas season. If you are interested, we have a “deck of cards,” that contain a card for each day of Advent as well as up to the Day of Epiphany, January 6, 2022.
Each card features a ritual, prayer, reflection, or activity for families, especially for children, ages 3—12, but we think teenagers can appreciate and be engaged with them as well.
If you are interested, Pastor Mark has a limited supply.
Drop him an email: markrambo44@gmail.com or text: 360-970-0218
Advent Photo-a-Day Challenge
See below for a calendar that designates a specific word for each day of Advent, Nov. 28th—Dec. 25th.
The challenge is for you to find and then post a picture that you think reflects that word and then you can post your picture on the church Facebook Group Page. Just go to groups and type in the “search” bar – Oly First Baptist (Community). That should take you to the Group Page where you can then link and post your picture to the Facebook page. No explanation is needed.
Just post your pic and if you want, type in:
#olyfirst #Advent #photochallenge
It’s simple, challenging, creative and fun!
