At Christ Church, as in many other Anglican churches, this forms a traditional part of our Advent and Christmas worship.

Children's activity sheet

This week's worksheet is called "The Joy of Christmas"
If we want to experience the real joy that Jesus wants for us, then we must learn to share. By sharing what God has so
generously given to us, we will receive an even greater gift -- the gift of joy.
This week, the Advent Candle signifies JOY
