Every year, men and women who often work behind the scenes in churches all across the country are making ready for Christmas services. These are the unsung heroes of the holidays, working tirelessly to not only ready their own homes and hearts for the season, but to plan a creative Christmas experience for others to encounter the babe in the manger.

Let me be one voice, among what I hope will be many, that says thank you.

One of my favorite parts of this job is writing creative Christmas resources that support the local church. I hope these will be a blessing to you and your ministry this holiday season!

These prices are greater than $10 per download because of the additionally included resources, but are linked here for your convenience.
