The third lesson of our Advent curriculum focuses on the scripture reading Luke 2:1-14. Shepherds working in the field are visited by an angel.
Scripture: Look up the scripture and read it out loud together. You also may watch a video of Luke 1-2, the story of the Nativity, called "He's Here" from the Jesus Storybook Bible by Sally Lloyd-Jones.
Reflection: Each lesson includes a brief reflection for the scripture texts. How did you experience joy today? Check the lesson for more reflection questions.
Activity: One way people practice joy is by telling stores of good times spent together. Some families remember these times through photographs or scrapbooks. Spend some time recording your joys on the scrolls provided on the Activity Page. What joys did you experience this week, this month, and this year?
