We provide a complete Order of Service for a brief Christmas Day family service including a Nativity Play which can be performed impromptu.
Joseph, an ordinary man, gets his life turned up-side when an angel appears to him in a dream. What does this mean for us? We examine some of the ways contemporary thinkers grapple with the story of the nativity and provide a host of visual and creative resources for young and old.
The prophet looks forward to the Lord’s coming. He sees a good road ahead. In this Season of Advent we look for the Lord’s coming to heal and restore. To this end we provide some creative lectionary-based ideas for use with children, youth and adults.
We look at the cultural customs around celebration. The Apostle Paul calls us to “Come and celebrate” but what exactly are we celebrating? We provide links to a host of resources to help with your Advent worship.
This week Taking Flight introduces a whole bundle of stories, ideas and resources for use in your community this Advent. These launch off from the lectionary readings for the day.
