A children's bulletin for the 1st week of Advent

We count the weeks until Jesus’ birth by lighting candles on our Advent wreath. Color in the one shining candles.

The first candle on the wreath is either blue or violet! Christ is coming! Just three more weeks to wait.

This week the prophets tell us

what we're waiting for!

The first candle is The Prophets'

Candle.
