JUST IN
FOR ADVENT AND CHRISTMAS

The Angels Speak (BK 5AX 007) This collection of readings for the Advent wreath features the angels that appeared to Zechariah, Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds. Only two persons are needed to give these weekly presentations. A simple banner pattern is included. 

Glowing with Advent BK 5AX 008) Two persons - the pastor and the speaker - are needed each week for this service of Advent candlelighting. Representing the themes of hope, peace, joy, and love are a farmer, a fisherman, a bride, and a mother. Responsive readings and a simple song verse are also included. 

An Advent Worship Service (BK 5AX 186) Informative readings, scripture, and familiar hymns are woven together to offer a service of worship for the lighting of the Advent wreath and the hanging of the greens.

The Hanging of the Greens (BK 5AX 005) This hanging of the greens service may be used on Christmas Eve. Suggestions for decoration are made, and music and dialog for the total liturgy are scripted. Four readers set the mood for the celebration with narration while others act as garland hangers. 

Deck the Halls (BK 5AX 006) This Advent celebration provides a feast for the eyes and the heart. Each decoration has a distinct meaning relating to Christ's birth - the Advent wreath, evergreens, poinsettias, Nativity Scene, Christmas tree and star. This highly flexible service allows for as few as 4 or as many as 20 participants.

Let Us Go Over to Bethlehem (BK 5AX 184) In this 4-week study for group or individual use, author James Moore invites us to get away from business as usual and plot a course toward Bethlehem. Each lesson includes a reference to a key scripture passage, a brief reflection, study and discussion questions, and prayer.

At the Manger (BK 5AX 189) Six characters share their innermost thoughts about the nativity in a series of brief soliloquies that come complete with an order of service for your worship planning. Characters are Caesar, Mary, Joseph, an angel, a shepherd, and God.

Angels We Have Heard (BK 5AX 190) This program is an easy-to-use service that's adaptable for any size congregation. A number of speaking parts are specified, but it's easy to combine parts and use just two readers. It features candlelight and an optional Communion service.
