Can it really be December already? I love December, don't you? I've had advent calendars on my mind since I've been putting one for our family together. It just needs to be hung and I can't wait to show you. Until then I wanted to share this little service advent calendar we made with our Young Women at church last night.
On our schedule was a service activity. But we also wanted to help them have service on their minds for longer than one night, especially during the holidays. So I came up with an easy way for them {and I} to perform service all month long, keeping Christ more centered in our Christmas.
It is simple to put together and if you want to make one for yourself, I bet you could even get it done today and not miss out on a day.
I found the envelopes in the gift bag section at Michaels. I think they were $3 for 25. I cut numbers with my Silhouette but you could use stamps or any number stickers you have on hand. Hole punch the top and string them all together. Tuck in a card with an act of service to do each day, and you are ready to count down the days to Christmas!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. You have a wonderful site. Loads of inspiration here.
ReplyDeleteJenn, I saw this on Pinterest, and I just love this idea. I have a goal to make Christmas more Christ-centered this year too, and I am inspired by you! Will you share your list of service activities? I'm sure I could come up with my own, but yours are probably much better. ;)
