Hunger is a universal human experience, drawing attention to both our basic needs for nourishment and deeper needs for peace, liberation, and meaning. From the Manger reflects on the playful symbolism of Jesus being laid in a feeding trough in Bethlehem, the “House of Bread,” inviting us to consider how the baby born in a bread town continues to feed a hungry world today. This Advent resource is designed to inspire, empower, and nourish your community and can be used on its own or alongside other From the Manger products.
Beginning on December 1, the From the Manger Advent Calendar offers simple, meaningful daily activities for all families—whether you’re a family with young children, teenagers, or no children at all. We understand that life can get busy, so these activities are short and meaningful, keeping the focus on quality family time. With your purchase, you'll receive:
- Advent Calendar: The calendar is available in both full-color and colorable versions.
- Advent Activity Cards: Twenty-five cards provide the activities that accompany the Advent Calendar.
We hope this resource provides an easy, meaningful way to connect during Advent, creating lasting memories for families.
How You Can Use It
From the Manger Advent Calendar is a perfect resource for families in your congregation. Send it home, encourage them to display it in a visible spot, and suggest engaging with it daily throughout Advent. Families can take turns picking a card, hide the cards around the house for a fun, daily surprise, or come up with their own creative ways to use the calendar.
