Introduction
The Advent Worship Resource Center is designed to help local churches and ministries organize worship and local community activities for the Advent season.  On this page you will find Worship Aids for each Sunday of Advent (including weekly Scriptures based on Lectionary Year).  If you have additional resources that you would like to submit for possible posting in this resource center, please send your suggestion via email

Advent Feature

Advent 2007 Resources Released - Dare to Dream!
by Rev. Pressley Sutherland and Rev. Elder Glenna Sheperd
Find resources for each Sunday in Advent 2007 and Christmas Eve 2007.  From new liturgies to music selections that speak to the "Dare to Dream" theme, this advent series is sure to enlighten your congregation.  Contact the MCC Resources office for all music lyrics and available sheet music. 

 



Additional Resource
The Darkness of Violence, the Light of God's Presence
by Rev. Carrie Doehring, Associate Professor of Pastoral Care and Counseling, Iliff School of Theology
Though it saddens and angers us, the realities of violence and abuse penetrate all communities.  MCC has a mission to address abuse and speak out against violence.  We have a vision of a world yet unfinished where abuses against the marginalized come to justice.  The Advent/Christmas Eve service is an opportunity for local churches to offer a healing embrace to those suffering violence and abuse in our communities.
