From the Manger Interactive Worship Bulletins

Hunger is a universal human experience, drawing attention to both our basic needs for nourishment and deeper needs for peace, liberation, and meaning. From the Manger reflects on the playful symbolism of Jesus being laid in a feeding trough in Bethlehem, the “House of Bread,” inviting us to consider how the baby born in a bread town continues to feed a hungry world today. This Advent resource is designed to inspire, empower, and nourish your community and can be used on its own or alongside other From the Manger products.

Our From the Manger Interactive Worship Bulletins are designed for worshippers of all ages to deepen their connection with our Advent theme, From the Manger. Each bulletin is filled with thoughtfully crafted activities that tie into the weekly scripture passages and Advent themes, fostering a rich and interactive worship experience.

Our Interactive Worship Bulletins include coloring pages, sketching prompts, and word games to engage with key Advent themes. They also offer space to write words of hope and personal reflections, encouraging both individual and shared experiences between adults, youth, and children. These five worship bulletins for Advent and Christmas promote creativity, reflection, and spiritual growth for all ages throughout the Advent season.

There are many ways these Interactive Worship Bulletins can be used both at home and at church. Here are just a few examples of how they can be used:
