'Sharing the Light'

Unbound offers a simple way for families to make their Advent more special

In Advent, Christians are called to find time and space to prepare for the coming of Jesus into the world.

That’s not easy at a time of year that’s often busy and rushed. It’s important for children, especially, to learn to focus on the sacredness of the season instead of just the excitement of the holidays.

That’s why Unbound has created “Sharing the Light,” a family Advent kit with simple reflections, prayers and activities for the four weeks leading up to Christmas. It’s designed to help families connect more deeply while learning about traditions of the season and “sharing the light” with others.

Get the kit to prepare for a blessed Advent season!
