Ways to pray through Advent and Christmas individually, as a family, and with your community.
There are more Advent and Christmas creative prayer resources – keep scrolling to explore them!
This Advent, we will prepare to celebrate the coming of Christ through two incredible expressions of creativity. The first is the prolougue to John’s Gospel – potentially the greatest poetic introduction to Jesus as the Word; God with us. The second, is the Great O Anitphons – ancient songs that meditate on a name of Jesus and an aspect of his character traditionally sung in the approach to Christmas. Through these stunning works of creativity we will prepare our hearts to celebrate when Christ came to Bethlehem, to welcome his coming today and to call for his return once more.
Lectio for Families is a free devotional for families to do together. It features daily Bible readings, a weekly memory verse, engaging questions to pause and talk about, and prompts for reflection and prayer.
These free prayer activities were designed for a Christmas-themed prayer space in a school, but they also work as Advent kids’ group activities in church or Christmas crafts to do as a family.

The weeks before Christmas can be hectic, but they also present a real opportunity for reflection, celebration, and generosity as the family of God.
This guide has five creative prayer stations to help you and your community focus on who Jesus is, who we are in Him and how we can share His love to those around us this season.
You can use these ideas in a prayer room, a small group setting, or for interactive prayer in as part of a church service.
