Christmas Advent Resources
The Christmas season is filled with laughter, memories, gifts, and time spent with people we love. While all those things are good, the busyness of the season can make it challenging for us to pause and reflect on the one who is at the center of it all. For believers, Christmas is not just another holiday we celebrate. It’s a reminder of our hope, pointing to the promises of God being fulfilled in Christ. Yes, we enjoy the season, but most of all we worship, for the King has come.
Here are 3 ways to be intentional about making room for Christ in your lives during the Christmas season:
1. Make Room for Christ
Take time to pause and reflect on Christ. A great way to do this is meditating on scripture related to advent and or using a devotional. Here are a few advent devotionals that may help you or your family reflect on Christ during Christmas:
-
- Good for individuals or families.
- Good for families with young children.
- 2026 Family Advent Guide — Lifeway (Free PDF and includes activities to go along with devotional)
2. Make Room for Worship
From neighborhood caroling to Christmas concerts, singing is a big part of Christmas traditions. But singing is not just a way to get in the holiday spirit, it’s a way we can worship God by filling our minds with truth and allowing that truth to shape our hearts.
We’ve put together a playlist of traditional carols and fun, modern songs to help you not only enjoy the season but also worship Christ.
Listen to the playlist on Spotify »
3. Make Room for Others
Christmas is a great time to build relationships and engage others with the Gospel. Whether it’s inviting them to church, the Christmas Eve Service, or even into your home for a meal. It’s a great way to bridge the gap from a cultural holiday to the hope of the Gospel and why we celebrate Christmas.
Making room for others isn’t only about reaching those outside of God’s family. There may be some in our church who are single, live far from family or are widowed that would love to have a seat at your table this Christmas.
Whether it’s a church member, neighbor, or friend, consider how you can make room for others during this Christmas season.
Giving to those in need
Operation Christmas Child – Shoebox Outreach
Drop off in the church foyer by Nov. 15.
Shoebox donations were collected in November to be delivered by Christmas. We participate in Operation Christmas Child each year through Samaritan’s Purse. Gifts for children in need are packed in shoeboxes and shipped around the world in order to share the love and news of Jesus Christ.
