Advent

Advent 2023

 

The season of Advent invites us into a time of expectant waiting and preparation as we journey towards remembering the birth of Christ.

This Advent, in line with the President’s Monthly themes, we want to dwell together on the themes of generosity and service.

For your worship services we have created some resources to help focus our minds on generosity. Available for download we have:

  • An Advent Candle Liturgy for the four Sundays of Advent and Christmas Day

  • Children’s Talks from IMYC focusing on the four advent themes of the Candle Liturgy.

We have also created 4 short videos that share stories of generosity from across our Connexion and beyond, available to download below if you would like to use them in your worship services. These too follow the four advent themes found in the other resources. 

4 videos available now

Click on the ‘Download’ button below the video to use in your worship services.

“Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.” 

― John Wesley
