advent begins - tweets, beach huts, liturgy, god of the moon and stars and other ideas

if you are up north go and visit bridlington advent beach huts

down south visit the beach hut calendar in brighton by beyond

follow an advent freshexpressions tweet [day 1 is from me!]

how about a bit of angel light painting? i saw this idea on someone's twitter and can't for the life of me remember where or who?! but it seems a great aadvent idea...

christine sine always comes up with a ton of stuff for advent - here's a prayer for the first sunday of advent

i still think the best statement i have heard for quite some time that relates to advent is from occupy st pauls - another world is possible - we look forward to the coming of christ into the world and to the day when christ returns and all things are made new - in both cases another world is possible and we seek to live out a life that makes another world possible now.

sim nolloth has put together a movie on the song god of the moon and stars that is rather delightful. i confess it's not my favoured music - in fact i turned the sound off preferring to just see the words(!), but the words are powerful and it is really well done. i am making this movie a worship trick - no 17 series 4... and i recognised most of the places in brighton that are in it.

and if you want something for a primary school assembly beatbox nativity might do the trick?!

follow the category advent on the blog to see other resources i have linked to before on advent.
