Advent Chapel at PIU

Joyce and I are on our Christmas vacation and the students are gone home for a few weeks. We will start school again on the 13th of January. We are visiting our parents now in Northern California and will visit our kids in San Diego after Christmas. I do have some pictures and stuff to post from a couple of our end-of-semester activities at PIU. One of my favorite end of semester activities is our customary Advent chapel. The whole campus joins to together to tell the story of the birth of Christ in story, song and activity. For me it is a great start to the Christmas season. Even though we do it every year, it never gets old.

It also provides opportunity for some Owen family Christmas pictures

And some PIU family Christmas pictures

The band played Christmas songs; some very traditional and some were loud and fast

I think everyone got into the spirit of the season

The Advent Candles were lit

The Christmas story was read.

And more family pictures were taken.
