Sunday school lessons that follow the Advent candles to Jesus, the Savior God promised.\u003c\/strong\u003e Advent means \"coming.\" Weeks 1 to 4 follow the four Advent candles, hope, peace, joy and love, through Isaiah's promise, Jesus' words to Nicodemus, Zechariah's song at the birth of John, and the night Jesus was born. Week 5 lights the Christ candle, as wise men from far away follow the star to worship Him. Teach Week 1 on the fourth Sunday before Christmas and Week 5 on the Sunday on or just after Christmas Day. It works with your church's Advent wreath or with none, and no real candle is ever lit in class. Two editions, written separately: Kids (ages 6 to 12) and Preschool (ages 3 to 5). Both rooms learn the same Bible story each week, each told for its age. Each edition is its own download. Teaching both rooms?
