For those who don...Das ist ja eine tolle Idee! <br /><br />For those who don't speak German: Markus' church is doing a "Living Advent Calendar" in which on each day of Advent a different family or group in the church decorates their apartment window. The church and the neighbors are then invited to come and visit. Then, they sing, hear a story, pray, and of course, eat and drink something together.

Dabei gestaltet an jedem Tag eine Familie oder Gruppe/Einrichtung der Gemeinde ein Wohnungsfenster. Die Gemeinde und die Nachbarn sind dann abends eingeladen zusammenzukommen, um zu singen, eine Geschichte zu hören, ein Gebet zu sprechen und natürlich adventlich zu essen und zu trinken.Markushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06300477117020378490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622029955594375134.post-10950143754588732032012-12-04T03:58:31.084+01:002012-12-04T03:58:31.084+01:00Ahh Sheila, such a nice compliment--I'm blushi...Ahh Sheila, such a nice compliment--I'm blushing! I've learned so much from your blog, too. Glad you liked the Isaiah meditation. The kids in my catechism class last year (the first year I did it with the candle sleeve) really liked it. In fact, one mom told me that her son was still using the candle every night at bedtime, even last June! She said he won't go to bed without it. I was amazed, because this particular boy was a bit mischievous and never seemed to be paying attention. Just shows how the Holy Spirit can work even when we think our message is falling on deaf ears!<br /><br />Blessings to you,<br />CherylCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879501981487394073noreply@blogger.com
