Thursday Evening - December 25, 2025

Dan takes an afternoon walk and sees families out enjoying their new gifts. When we get a gift we need, it is a sign that the gift-giver loves us.

Discussion Question(s)

• When did you feel loved today?

Prayer

Dear God, we thank you for this day full of excitement. We thank you that all of the gifts we both gave and received today are signs of our love for each other. And, of course, we thank you that the whole reason we have a day like this is because you first loved us and gave us the gift of Jesus. Amen.

Thursday Morning - December 25, 2025

All four themes of Advent - hope, peace, joy, and love - have ultimately been about good things happening. When we experience these things for ourselves, it makes us want to share them with others.

Discussion Question(s)

• What is something from the last couple of weeks that you like to say “thank you” to God for?

Prayer

Dear God, we thank you for all of the good things you have done and continue to do for us. Especially today, we are grateful for Jesus. In all of our excitement and fun today, may we find moments to remember that this is all because of your love for us. Amen.

Wednesday Morning - December 24, 2025

The Grace Harbor Christmas Eve service features a live improvised nativity, where anyone can put on a costume a play a part. Because there’s no practice ahead of time, there are always surprises, which makes it a wonderful picture of the first Christmas.

Discussion Question(s)

• What was a time when you were surprised by something good?

Prayer

Dear God, we thank you for the parts of the Christmas story we know and love, and we thank you for the parts that can still surprise us. Keep our eyes open to see where you might still surprise us today. Amen.

Tuesday Evening - December 23, 2025

Dan helps Brie the Baker close up her shop for the Christmas break. We learn that setting intentions sometimes involves keeping our eyes open for opportunities we don’t see coming.

Discussion Question(s)

• What was one moment from today when you gave or received God’s love?

Prayer

Dear God, we thank you that your love is all around us. It fills our hearts, it inspires us to action, and it flows through other people to us. Give us a good night’s sleep tonight so that we can wake up rested and refreshed, and ready to celebrate Christmas Eve. Amen.

Tuesday Morning - December 23, 2025

The theme for the fourth and final week of Advent is love. Love is a word that everyone knows and uses, but it has so many different meanings.

Discussion Question(s)

• What is one silly thing and one serious thing that you love?

• How can you remind yourself of the true meaning of Christmas today?

Prayer

Dear God, we thank you for your love. We thank you that your love for us isn’t just a feeling, but it’s something that led to you to come be with us in Jesus. As we go about our day today, may we keep the true meaning of Christmas alive in our hearts. Amen.

Monday Evening - December 22, 2025

Though the story of Jesus’ birth doesn’t happen until three-quarters of the way through the Bible, God promised he would come from the very beginning. We take a look at some of the signs God gave to show that the first Christmas was coming.

Discussion Question(s)

• If God put you and your family in charge of letting the world know that Christmas is coming in just a few days, how would you do it?

Prayer

Dear God, we thank you for this day and for all of your blessings - especially the blessing of Christmas. It seems that, since you dropped so many hints about Christmas for thousands of years before it happened, you must have been even more excited about it than we are today. May we rest tonight knowing that you’re still excited for us to get to know your son, Jesus. Amen.

Monday Morning - December 22, 2025

Sometimes we can be waiting for something so long that we begin to worry it won’t actually happen. But one way we can reassure ourselves is by looking for signs.

Discussion Question(s)

• What are some signs that Christmas is actually coming?

Prayer

Dear God, we thank you that Christmas is *so* close. While it may feel like we’ve been waiting for a long time, and we still have a few days to go, there are signs all around us that Christmas is coming and that you love us. Amen.
