Advent Resources
The Inn: Housing the Holy
A silver lining to the cloud that is the pandemic is that worship has gone hybrid, leaving the building. The holy cannot be contained in our buildings, we have the opportunity to house holiness everywhere, including our homes. So use these resources to richly experience this sacred season

Reflections with Children
These reflections are designed for the young as well as the young at heart. They are designed to be used with the At-Home Reflections booklet (there is a place for them each week during the reflection). If you choose to use these, you will want to get a large box to use each week as a prop. We will also be sharing videos of these children's times on our YouTube channel (click here).
