About this Bible story
The Advent season begins with the first candle, representing hope. This week, we learn about the promise of Jesus as we light the first candle, known as the Prophecy Candle. Romans 15:13 reminds us, 'May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace.'
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace.”
How to Use These Coloring Pages
While the kids color, ask them, 'What does hope mean to you?' Highlight the moment of lighting the first candle in church, as it represents the beginning of Advent. Plan for about 30 minutes of coloring, and consider following up with a small discussion about how they can share hope with others during this season.

More about these coloring pages
During our Advent lessons, I love to remind my students about the hope that the first candle represents. As they color this Advent Candle Week 1 page, they'll see a lovely candle and a shining star, which reminds us of Jesus' birth. The verse 'May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace' (Romans 15:13) perfectly encapsulates our theme. Last Wednesday, I gathered my fourth graders around the table, and they were excited to share their thoughts about hope. I handed out the pages, and they couldn't wait to start coloring. These six images also include details like Christmas trees and gifts, which help tie in the joy of the season. Each coloring page makes it easy to convey the message of Advent while keeping the kids engaged. I always keep a printed copy in my Sunday school binder for future classes. It's not just a fun activity, but also a way to instill the meaning of hope in their hearts during Advent.
