We (Anne and Kelly, but mostly Kelly) have put together a small collection of creative ideas for Advent and Christmas — ways to nurture connection, creativity, and welcome in your congregation this season.
You’ll find:
✨ Simple event ideas for intergenerational fun and fellowship
🕯 Fresh approaches to worship and altarscaping
🎨 Printable reflection pages like “Advent Dreams & Doodles” to inspire wonder and prayer
Use these ideas to spark something new or simply to remind yourself that the light we share as leaders begins with the light we receive.
Do you not get to church as often as you’d like?
Maybe you've left the church, but still love Jesus...and want your kids to love him, too?
Do your children ask questions like “How does the baby Jesus fit in with the whole Santa thing?”
Do you need a safe space to grow your faith because your family is not considered “traditional” by others?
We're here to help.
We're here to help...and we are not with the government.
