The Worship Ministry is embarking on the creation of an Advent devotional written by YOU – all of the congregants of Fauntleroy Church UCC!

Every week through October, we'll publish a series of writing prompts designed to inspire you to share your thoughts and experiences. You'll find the prompts posted to our internal Facebook group and in the Congregator on our webpage. Pick a prompt (or more than one), find a quiet spot, and write. Your response can take any written form: short story, essay, letter, poem – be creative, and respond to as many of the prompts as speak to you. Every piece from every age will be a gift. A family could even write something together.

Once you've finished, e-mail your response to Hilary Reeves at hilary.j.reeves@gmail.com. Our plan is to assemble a physical devotional and make it available in November in time for the first day of Advent!

Prompts for the week of Sept. 21:

1. What is the moment when you know Christmas has really begun?

2. Make a list and check it twice: What are your top 10 tips for experiencing great joy at Christmas?
