Personal Application: Let’s “worship fully” every week. First Presbyterian Church invites you to worship fully on December 24 at 7:30 pm or 9:30 pm. And let’s do our part to help others worship fully, too. Everyone can take part in the Christmas Eve offering.
Family Activity: The Scriptures are filled with people singing. As a family, write your own song of praise and thanksgiving to God this Advent. Begin by choosing the tune of a hymn or praise song familiar to your whole family. You might try using a favorite Christmas carol!
Next, list everything your family is thankful for as well as phrases of praise and worship to God. Group together those that rhyme or have similar sounds. Now, work in your words of worship to the familiar tune. Feel free to use some of the original words from the song you’ve chosen in combination with your own. Use this song as a prayer, an opening for your family time, or share it with others as a witness to God’s faithfulness!
Prayer: Dear God, there is so much wonderful Christmas music. But sometimes I get sick of hearing it, especially when it turns into Muzak to use as a backdrop for more shopping. Plant your song in my heart this Advent, and then help me keep it alive. Help me to sing your praise as honestly and joyfully in February and June and August as I do during the Christmas season. Amen.
