Journey to Joy - Advent and Christmas Reflections

Share to

17 November, 2022

Advent is almost here and we as a church will be joining churches across Queensland on a Journey to Joy.

A suite of resources has been created by a collaborative team from across the Qld Synod of the Uniting Church to help congregations, communities, and families celebrate Advent together intergenerationally. We will be using the worship resources for the four Sundays of Advent and Christmas Day.

There are also five weeks of materials that have been designed for Families, singles, couples, and groups in congregations and the community which contain discussion questions on the weekly themes, Reflections on Characters of the nativity, challenges, and links to additional resources, including videos and songs, to help young and old to engage and go further in their discipleship journey this advent.

Printed materials will be available this and next week for you to collect and start to use in your homes and small groups. Materials are also available online at https://emmanueluca.org.au/dig-in-at-home.

We would love for you to use and share these with family and friends, and people you are relationship with, in the community as we all Journey to Joy this Christmas.

Easter at Home

Join us for Easter 2025 as we reflect on God’s ongoing story of renewal for the whole of creation, and how our story weaves and intertwines with God’s story. Over seven

weeks, we will journey with people from past generations and hear stories of how God renewed their lives through transforming encounters, forgiveness, reconciliation,

and faithfulness. As we hear and reflect on the stories of others, we will also reflect on how God is renewing our lives, and our Church, and what God is calling us to do in the

renewal process.

The 2 attached documents contain resources, including recipes, videos, prayers, and stories, to help your family explore scripture, themes, and special days of Easter at home.
