Children's Worship: Interactive Advent Meditations

Joseph Moore, Community Contributor

The Billy Graham Center Museum at Wheaton College is hosting a series of one-hour worship services designed to engage children with the wonder and anticipation of the Advent season. Through a unique storytelling format and multi-sensory materials, visitors of all ages are invited to explore stories from the Bible about the birth of Jesus. Participants will have opportunity to respond to the presentations with simple arts and crafts, prayer, journaling, reading, visual arts, and hands-on materials for retelling their own stories.


Services will be held Saturdays December 7, 14, and 21 at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and Sundays December 8, 15 and 22 at 4 p.m. The events are free and open to the public and take place in the Billy Graham Center Museum Rotunda area. Stories in the same weekend are identical. Children must be accompanied by an adult. No reservation needed.

The Billy Graham Center Museum offers free parking and is wheelchair accessible. For more information, call 630.752.5909 or go to BGCmuseum.org.
