Looking for ways to celebrate Advent and Christmas in your home or congregation while avoiding the material excesses of the season?
The Enough for Everyone program of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) in October introduced a new component focused on lifestyle integrity for families, couples and individuals: Just Living. Currently featured on the Just Living Web page are Advent and Christmas suggestions. “During Advent we anticipate and celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In our modern-day culture Christmas has also become a season of giving. This year we have compiled some resources to help Presbyterians engage in giving that sustains life and celebrates the birth of Christ in more meaningful ways than mainstream culture provides,” says the Web site.
Families and congregations can find suggestions on spiritual preparation (praying, serving); food, and celebration ideas that support sustainability; alternative suggestions for gift giving.
Participants can also post ideas their own ideas and experiences in observing the holidays.
