Illustrated Worship Resources: Advent 2023
Note: This is a digital product. No physical product will be shipped to you.
Illustrated Worship Resources provide you with creative, hand-drawn full-color illustrations to use for Children's Moments or for other uses during worship. You will also receive engaging, meaningful, creative, and fun Children's Worship Bulletins.
This Advent Resource* contains five hand-drawn illustrations and five bulletins. It's a wonderful resource for any community and illustrates the Scriptures from the Revised Common Lectionary for Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany (Year B), December 3, 2023, through December 31, 2023.
This is a great way to try out Illustrated Worship Resources without committing to a whole season. It's also a perfect supplement for Advent if your community already has materials for the rest of the season. However, if you need resources for all of Winter 2023-2024, you can get them here.
*These are the same materials included in the Advent section of our complete winter bundle, so if you purchase the Illustrated Worship Resources: Winter 2023-2024, you DO NOT need to purchase this Advent set.
What you get:
Illustrated Children's Moments
- Five full-color, original, hand-drawn illustrations of Bible stories from the lectionary. The style is modern, playful, diverse, and authentic.
- Each illustration is accompanied by a thoughtful reflection you can use to plan your children's moment. It's not a script, but you can use it to craft a children's sermon that engages children where they are.
- You will also receive the black and white versions of the illustrations that you can use as coloring pages.
These resources illustrate the scripture passages for Advent (Year B) in the Revised Common Lectionary.

About Tiered Pricing
One of the ways we work to keep our products affordable for budgets of all sizes is through a tiered pricing structure. We aim to make the price of our products both accessible and fair, and so we ask that you select the appropriate option for your church size. While we do not have a way of verifying the church size of everyone who places an order, we trust each community to choose honestly.
