Advent Worship Resources
Everything you need to lead your community through worship and discipleship for Advent.
Year B with a Gospel or Isaiah Focus
Purchase NowVolume 1 Theme: Why Wait?!
In much of the church the season of Advent is known for haunting melodies, apocalyptic imaginations, longing for change, and a whole lot of waiting. But what if Advent is more about a demand, an immediate and urgent call for something different.
Using Scripture texts from Isaiah and the Gospels, this Advent series from Church Anew will frame advent differently, calling people into a provocative posture of seeing Jesus here and now. Using the traditional texts, the Advent wreath, and the deep blue color scheme, we will also join the imagination of our people, who are singing carols in their cars and in the malls, who are giving more and sharing more.
We will expect Jesus to be in our midst, consistently demand God’s presence, and trust the Holy Spirit in our call, “Why Wait?!”

Looking for Stewardship Resources?
We are excited to offer Stewardship in a Box Volume 2 - The Impossible Promise of Enough, a resource designed to give you everything you need to guide your community through a meaningful conversation about faith and finances.
Using tried and true methods from fundraising experts and stewardship leaders, this resource will help congregations from the beginning to the end of a stewardship campaign. This is not an “all or nothing” resource, that everyone follows exactly and word for word. It is meant to be more of a “choose your own adventure,” setting each congregation up for stewardship success in the way that fits their context best.
