If it is your responsibility to take services during Advent and Christmas you will be aware of how difficult it can be to find the time to think of a new slant or different approach in order to engage the worshippers in a meaningful experience and give them a renewed sense of faith and wonder.

Special Services for Advent and Christmas provides a range of services for different age groups and occasions during this time. All are straightforward to execute, and only require easily accessible props and music. They are adaptable and so can be used in their entirety or as a basic framework from which to work.

The services included are:

? Journey to the manger (All age)

? Day Retreat for Advent

? Meditation Service for Advent

? After-dark Christmas Service for teenagers

? Christmas Eve/Christmas Day Children's Service

? Christingle Service

Finally, there is a resource section which includes a photocopiable young people's Christmas Quiz and Wordsearch.
