This year's Advent and Christmas resources for Sunday worship will use the lyrics of ‘God rest you merry, gentlemen’ (Christmas Collection 33) as a basis. The desire is that they come to life in light of the Bible and find relevance for today. Teaching starters and prayer and creative worship ideas are available alongside a PowerPoint template and logos.
Also on the page:
- Videos reflecting on the weekly themes
- Advent artwork time-lapse video and reflection
- Teaching starter and prayer and worship ideas for New Year's Eve
- Territorial Commander Advent Message Video
- A link to weekly podcasts and reflections on the theme
- Kid's Alive Colouring Corner
