Description
This suite of resources has been created by a collaborative team from across the Queensland Synod of the Uniting Church, to help congregations, communities and families celebrate Advent together intergenerationally.
Love in Action: Preparing and Nurturing the Garden of our Soul.
During season of Advent and Christmas, we will use the lectionary readings (RCL year C) to Rejoice together one and all. Each week is themed:
1. Advent One: December 1st Rejoice and SEE
2. Advent Two: December 8th Rejoice and HEAR
3. Advent Three: December 15th Rejoice and ACT
4. Advent Four: December 22nd Rejoice and FEEL
5. Christmas: December 25th Rejoice and CELEBRATE
6. Post Christmas: December 29th Rejoice and KNOW
The material has been created for the 2024 Advent & Christmas season for these dates but can be used in any year.
There are a few parts of the resource, and all can be used together to connect what happens in worship, with the ordinary, everyday parts of life.
- Advent at Home
Designed to be printed and gifted to congregation members and families for at-home and small group use. The material includes Bible Reflections, discussion questions, challenges and activities to rejoice together through seeing, hearing, feeling and acting on God’s presence.
Providing and encouraging use of this in your community will help connect these families to what is happening in the gathered church community during the Advent and Christmas season. - Media files
Including Coloring posters, background slides and a PowerPoint for use to enhance the resources.
