As we prepare to enter the beautiful (and busy!) season of Advent, we know your calendars are filling with rehearsals, bulletins, decorating days, and candlelight services. In the midst of it all, we hope you’ll take a few minutes for you — to breathe, to imagine, and to rediscover the joy of hospitality.
We’ve 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.
