Top Secret Tuesday, Advent Week 1



Greetings!
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to complete one of the following tasks:


Advent Week 1

You will be making an advent candleholder to help celebrate the coming of Christmas.  To make your holder, use ½ of a paper towel roll, cut lengthwise.  Poke 4 holes into the top for the candles.  Before placing the candles in, feel free to decorate any way you like (stickers, glue/glitter, markers, etc.).  Place the candles in, light the 1st one and read about the birth of Jesus’ cousin, John from Luke 1:5-25. 

Have a parent cut out (and mix up!) the eight different pictures on this page.  Then your task is to sort out the order of  these events.  Have fun!!
