Advent Day 1 – A Story and Some Activities for the Family

Day 1 – November 30, 2025

The Story & the Song

Today’s Story lays the groundwork for Advent. It explains that God sent His son because He loves His people,

Today’s story begins by telling us that God’s creation of the world is a reflection of His love.

“The heavens are singing about how great God’s love is., and the skies are shouting it out.”  Sally Lloyd-Jones, The Jesus Storybook Bible

“God wrote, ‘I love you.” He wrote it in the sky and on the earth and under the sea. He wrote His message everywhere! Because God created everything in His world to reflect Him like a mirror….to make our hearts sing.” Sally Lloyd-Jones, The Jesus Storybook Bible

“And God put it into words, too, and wrote it in a book he called ‘the Bible.” Sally Lloyd-Jones, The Jesus Storybook Bi

For today’s activity, I want us to create Valentines for God, telling Him that we love Him.
