Advent Planner

Advent Planner is a day for equipping pastors, worship leaders and musicians to guide their congregations into the anticipation and promise of the season. The workshop is typically held in early October, and offers creative ideas for scripture presentations, visual elements, congregational prayer and rituals, and music. Participants will sample elements of worship for the Sundays of the season. This workshop introduces the lectionary-based worship resources published in Leader magazine.  Participants should bring a copy of the magazine or order one when registering for the workshop.

The content is focused particularly for congregations who are part of Mennonite Church USA and Mennonite Church Canada, but participants from other denominations and congregations that use the lectionary are welcome and have found similar events very helpful.
