Advent means “coming” or “arrival.” In this spirit of expectancy, we seek to connect families in our congregations with God’s ways, celebrating the Kingdom which is already among us and is still coming more fully. Because this year's texts explore questions people have had for God, we focus on questions people still have today. God welcomes our questions. God listens. Wondering questions open up theological activity in even very young minds and this guide encourages them.

Use the resource whenever and however it fits into your home’s routines and life stage realities. If your family has younger children, feel free to simplify, shorten and paraphrase the prayers and pondering thoughts. To use this booklet for daily worship times, repeat the litany for each day of the week, and read the daily scripture recommendations, which have been divided into seven short readings. The prayers and activities in this booklet are adapted from the worship resources in the Fall 2019 Leader magazine.

The Advent at Home series, originally produced by Mennonite Church Canada has been a well received Advent resource for many households since 2002-03. Since the fall of 2016, this resource has continued to be developed by the Anabaptist Faith Formation Network.
