From Advent wreaths to Christmas trees, from mistletoe to luminaries, from The Hanging of the Greens to End of Epiphany. 'Come to Christmas' provides a treasury of worship ideas and Advent background for families, teachers and worship leaders.
Find all you need to know about the traditions of Advent: Advent wreaths and the significance of Advent candles, the meaning behind The Jesse Tree and the origins of Santa Claus, kissing under the mistletoe and all about poinsettias.
This revised edition includes a set of Advent services for the lighting of Advent candles, and Christmas songs not often found in church music books - such as "The Holly & the Ivy", "The Friendly Beasts" and more.
The short and simple worship outlines adapt for use in children's services, Sunday school programmes, family and all age worship. Children and adults will find much fascinating information and insight into the traditions and meaning of Christmas and the equally important season of Advent.
