Peace Advent Activities
Each day, use the scripture listed to meditate on PEACE. Use this special time as an opportunity to practice peace. Some ideas on ways to meditate on the scripture of the day whether you’re doing this alone, with a friend, or with your family…
- Read through the verses, hand copy the scripture onto a page or into a journal, then read through it again.
- Create your own piece of art that includes words from the scripture or a picture of peace.
- Make a Christmas ornament with the word peace, with the scripture of the day, or your own picture of peace.
- Paint some rocks in fun or Christmas colors and then also include the word peace and a scripture. Then hide them in your local park, playground, or other public gathering place.
- Pay for the order of the person behind you in the drive-thru. Leave a Christmas card that you have filled out with a message and Bible verse about peace for the cashier to hand to the person you paid for.
- Make and hang a banner in your home that spells out the word peace.
- Light a candle to represent peace.
- Put up a manger scene in your home.
- Incorporate the scripture into a prayer and ask God to grow peace in your spirit, write out a prayer of peace into a journal.
- Bake Christmas cookies and decorate them with the word peace. Maybe even share a plate with your neighbors!
- Share our daily Advent inspiration with your friends on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
- Attend our Sunday service, or watch the sermon at the bottom of this page to give you context and more inspiration about PEACE!
