advent day #2 - prayer chain

Tonight, we made prayer chains so that we can pray specifically for a different person throughout each day until Christmas.

We cut red and green construction paper into strips.


Then, we wrote the names of who we wanted to pray for on the strips. Ivy said who she wanted to pray for then I would write the name on a sheet a paper so that she could then write the name correctly on her strip.



Then, we alternated the red and green strips and made them into the links of the chain by taping the ends together. Of course, we did need to put a sticker on each one of the strips before we could turn them into links.


Our final product...

Before bed, we continued working on our memory verse - our words to remember tonight are "FOR GOD" and then we read a short passage from the book of Micah providing prophecy of Jesus' birth nearly 700 years before Jesus was even born!

And he shall stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of hte LORD his God. And they shall dwell secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth. ~Micah 5:4
