Reimagine Advent

35-Minute Musical
Item #2160a – Digital format

Item #2160b – Paper copy

Reimagine Advent is an action-packed Advent musical for preschool through elementary age children.  This program includes poems, skits, a puppet show and 7 kid-friendly songs.

 

When it’s time to set up the Advent wreath, let your kids creatively kick off the Advent season for your faith community with Reimagine Advent! There are lots of ways to Reimagine Advent: 
. . . . A reporter gives us the scoop on “The Advent Wait” and the puppets who have gathered because they know that Jesus is worth the wait.
. . . . Children read poems as the candles are placed in the Advent wreath – candles for hope, peace, joy and love.
. . . . Add in some bubbles of hope, balloons of joy, a peace bucket band, hats, mittens, boots & hair nets for skits about love and you are almost there!
When the musical ends, the Advent wreath and candles will be ready for the season and everyone will be reminded of the light that Jesus brings . . . a light that we get to share with the world.

The L is for love and God’s love is so kind.  It’s good and unending, the best you can find.
The O is for over and under and far.  God’s love always reaches wherever we are.
The V is for volume.  There’s no need to yell.  In fact, when you’re gentle, your love will be swell.
The E is for easy.  I wish it would be; Love’s not always easy, on this we agree.
So place the LOVE candle.  It’s flame is divine.  You know God will guide you, so let your light shine.

Glowing and humming all afternoon

Since the kids came home from being in the Reimagine Advent program, they have been glowing and humming all afternoon.  And I feel more grounded and less distracted with the noise of the season.  The words you give the kids to proclaim touch my heart deeply. Thank you for who you are and all you do.

Outstanding

I just wanted to thank you for the marvelous Advent program.  The kids were adorable.  All your props, music and dialogue were outstanding.  I continue to be in awe of your talent and creativity.  What you do with children is so important.  They will carry the words and music with them forever.  Much love!
