Advent/Christmas Resources

Resources from IMYCD

Christmas Resources for Ministers, Youth & Children's Leaders. These resources were put together by Lisa Best who is the Youth Ministry Co-ordinator with the Irish Methodist Youth and Children's Department team.

Resources from Stewardship

The Advent resources below have been generously provided by Stewardship which is a UK Christian organisation providing services and free resources to churches and Christian charities. They say: "In the midst of the consumerist hum we invite you to stop and reflect on the Christmas season in a wholly different way, with Stewardship's free Advent Wonder email series."

This year they have created a series of Advent Wonder sermon notes especially for church leaders to use throughout December.

The series of four free sermons focuses on gifts. Jesus the Son is the ultimate gift, and God the Father is the ultimate giver. The Advent story is full of other gifts; some are surprising, some are timely, some are overwhelming, but all speak of God’s generosity.

The Sermon notes in pdf format are below. There is also a Powerpoint which you can use in your church.
