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:

What’s the story of the Christmas tradition your family just has to do every year?
Sometimes the way to find peace is to lift up and let go. What are you letting go of this Advent season? What are you holding onto that is essential?
