SOME GENERAL IDEAS TO HELP YOU ENJOY CHRISTMAS EVE OR DAY WORSHIP

Christmas, Uncategorized 1 Minute

Instead of frantically searching for ideas on the net, here is a compilation of ideas to use if you are worshipping at church or on line that might help young members relate to the Christmas Eve/Day service.

If you know that the congregation you will be worshipping with uses the Revised Common Lectionary you will find specific ideas for each reading on forth coming blogs

If at home prepare a worship space, place a white table cloth, your advent candles, and light the final white Christ candle today. You may also include any items that help you concentrate on the season of Christmas.

PRAY:

God came into our life,

shining light into the night

We welcome God’s gift

Jesus today

Amen

For 13 years I volunteered as a grief counsellor, but it was my personal experiences of loss that prompted the To Live and to Grieve Blog Until recently I was a Child and Families Worker to an inner city church in Australia. When my contract was completed it was suggested that I grow some of my on-line presence into what became " The cross in my backyard ", no longer serving one community but as a gift to parents/carers, and others involved in Child and Family Ministry. I have formal qualifications in Economics, Teaching, Counselling and Theology.
