Faith Family Advent Devotional Guide

A Faith Family Advent
27 days from the garden to the manger to the throne
December has a way of filling up fast: school programs, gift lists, travel, late-night wrapping. It’s easy to reach Christmas morning and realize we celebrated everything except the One the whole season is about.
 
A Faith Family Advent helps your family slow down and keep Jesus at the center, about 15 minutes a day. Built on four simple rhythms (Worship, Scripture, Connection, and Prayer), this printable guide walks your family through God’s story from the first promise in Genesis, through the prophets and the shepherds, to the manger in Bethlehem and the day Jesus makes everything new.
 
Each day includes:
A Bible passage and NIV key verse
A short devotional to read aloud together
Discussion questions for every age, including one just for little ones
A family activity, from star hunts to sunrise watches to kindness deliveries
A worship song and a closing prayer
A SOAP journal page (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer) where your family writes what God is teaching you, plus a “Little Hands” drawing box for young children
 
Each week includes:
A candle-lighting liturgy for Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love, with lines for the whole family to read together
A word study on the original Hebrew or Greek, paired with a free BibleProject video
A memory verse, a carol of the week, and a family challenge
 
Also inside: a Christmas Eve Christ Candle service, a printable Advent calendar, a wreath guide (no wreath required), a sample SOAP entry, and keepsake pages for your Joy List, prayer requests and answers, and your family’s Advent memories.
Designed for real families, with toddlers, teens, and everyone in between. Fall behind? Just pick up with today’s page. Grace is the whole point of Christmas.
