Action Advent: a calendar-ful of ways to make a difference

Live out the hope of Christmas, one day at a time

 

Every day, this beautiful Advent calendar gives you a simple prompt to put your faith into action in daily life.

Thanking that quiet person who rarely gets noticed. Praying for everyone you’re giving a gift. Or welcoming someone who’s lonely to join in your Christmas traditions.

Along the way, you’ll be reminded of the actions taken by the characters in the Christmas story – and take inspiration from the way they put their faith into practice.

Who’s the calendar for?

Everyone! After all, there’s no age limit on Advent calendars, Christmas fun, or living like Jesus. All the prompts can be done by kids, either on their own or with their parents – and they all work for adults, too.

Can we use it with our church?

Yes – in fact, that’s why we made it! In a season when we often focus on bringing people in to church, this calendar is a great way to inspire our churches to take the hope of Christmas out into the world as well.

Print off a copy for each household in your church and encourage people to chat about how they’re getting on with the prompts when they meet.

How do I get my calendar(s)?

Simply download the PDF below and print out as many copies as you need.

Cut along the white dotted lines with a craft knife or scissors, then stick the cover sheet onto the prompt sheet with a glue stick. That’s it!
