Advent Season: Family Devotion Music

| Posted By Dorothy White

Advent is a word that means “coming” or “arrival.” This season on the church calendar is one in which we remember the promises of Jesus’ first coming, and look forward to his promise to come again. Just as John the Baptist told the Jewish people to “prepare” for the Lord’s first arrival, we need to encourage each other to be ready for him to come again.

We’re excited to have the opportunity to spend time with our families this season thinking about what this season means as we use our Advent Season Family Devotion Table Cards. We study God’s word, talk about how it impacts our lives, pray together, and sing hymns and songs. The songs below include full lyrics and audio links that coordinate with each of the cards that start each week of the Advent season.
