It is that time of year in churches across the world. It’s Advent worship planning time!

Advent is the four wonderful Sundays before Christmas where we focus on preparation for Jesus’ birth. This year Advent begins on December 2nd, but Advent planning often starts months beforehand.
There are many online resources for worship planning and plenty especially for Advent. Worship Times has put together a list of places to start your worship planning.
