Advent in the Classroom
Week 2 (“peace”) we heard the
story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, who in their old age became parents to a
special child named John. John would grow up to prepare people for Jesus and
teach God’s way of peace.
Song of the Week:
Peace before us, Peace behind us, Peace under our feet;
Peace within us, Peace over us, let all around us be peace.
Each week we add a verse to our candle-lighting
song, one for each of the candles on the advent wreath
Light One Candle
Light one candle for hope;
One bright candle for hope;
Christ brings hope to ev’ry heart;
He comes, he comes…
Light one candle for peace (joy, love)...
