Christmas in 3 ActsНамуна
Space
It is in some traditions of Lenten practice that the Sunday is seen as a break or a sabbath from some of the intentional practices and disciplines that you may have utilized over the previous six days.
Maybe this is not a bad practice for Advent, too.
Here are some ways in which you can be helped to do that with this theme.
Light a candle then turn off all the lights.
The very simple act of lighting a candle is not only something that many churches do on “Advent Sundays”, but it is also a way for you to personally pause, take stock and review what God has been saying to you this week.
What action, reading, prayer, or question has deepened you most?
Ask God for insight into the effect you are having or could have, as your life shines this Advent.
Light a Fire
The Bible has all sorts of encounters, decisions, callings, and regrets, and restorations that happen around a fire.
If you are able to light one then use the time to reflect on the calling of Moses as he observed the burning bush, or Peter as he sat around the fire on the beach with Jesus.

About this Plan
In this Advent Infinitum Series, we will be using the themes of Tragedy, Comedy and Fairytale. They will act as doorways into a deeper understanding of surrender, generosity, and mission. Each theme lasts 7 days. The first day will be an introduction. Days 2 to 6 will give you a reading, an experience, a practice, a question, and a prayer. Day 7 is Sabbath, consolidation, review, and recollection.
