Advent is a season of waiting and reflection, a time to prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ and to renew our hope in God’s promises. It’s also an opportunity to explore how faith communities come together in unique ways to mark this season. We’ve compiled resources below showcasing how some of our network of churches and church-based agencies are marking this season through worship, prayer, and community action, reminding us all to find light in the waiting.
Presbyterian World Service & Development (PWS&D)
PWS&D Advent liturgies offer congregations and groups an opportunity to celebrate the hope, love, peace and joy of the season. The liturgies are available as PowerPoint slides to show during your service, as well as colour and large printable versions for church bulletins. Each week of Advent includes a group prayer and a story of the impact PWS&D’s local partners are making around the world.
United Church of Canada (UCC)
