Other resources posted by Christine Sine (more on her blog):
Intervarsity’s Emerging Scholar’s blog is hosting a series this Advent. I particularly enjoyed this post: Why Bother with Advent.
And Chris Smith is hosting another series on the SlowChurch blog. based on Daily Readings of the Revised Common Lectionary. I particularly enjoyed his first post Fear Not
This post on Celebrating Advent with Kids and if you know of other resources that should be added to this list I would love to hear from you.
Bernadette Farrell’s hymn of 16 short lines (Gather Australia, no.279) is ideal for Advent, beginning with the first four lines in Advent 1 and successively adding four more lines each week. Provides a nice build-up effect 🙂 We use it in this way in our daily office at home.
This is a brilliant suggestion, thank so much, Julianne. Blessings.
PS The hymn is simply called “Advent Litany”.
