Advent 2020 - ICCF Community Homes

With your help, ICCF is actively working towards vibrant communities in West Michigan. We are pursuing connected neighbors, housing justice, and abundant opportunity for all people.

This Advent season, we invite you to celebrate the gift of home with us using the calendar below. Together, we’ll explore what it looks like to prepare for Christmas in our homes and our hearts, celebrate the diversity of unique families in one community, and recognize the value of home as more than a physical building.

December 3: Celebration

One of the best things we do in our homes is celebrate. Whether it’s a birthday, holiday, or a party, everyone loves a celebration! A stable home is a place where you can celebrate all of life’s occasions, big and small.

What’s the last occasion you celebrated? How did your home reflect that?

December 2: Responsibility

Part of growing up means taking on chores. Sometimes there’s a lot of housekeeping on the to-do list, but being able to take responsibility for yourself, your family, and your home is really a gift. A stable home creates space for people to enjoy the responsibilities they have.

What responsibilities are given to each member of your house? What would happen if these responsibilities were neglected?

December 1: Ownership

Home provides a place to hang your hat—or in this case, to hang up your winter pajamas! Having a stable place to live enables families to take ownership of their belongings and their space. It creates a safe environment for families of all sizes to store items, enjoy favorite belongings, and take pride in their environment.
