Everyone is Welcome Advent Calendars

The Education team at the Diocese have created not one, but two online Advent Calendars for 2021.  These Advent Calendars do not contain pictures of elves and snowmen, instead each day takes you to a story from the Bible or some words that explore the topic of welcome and inclusion. They have picked up the theme of the schools’ art exhibition at Guildford Cathedral for Christmas 2021 ‘Everyone is Welcome’.   

 Primary Advent Calendar.  

 Secondary Advent Calendar. 

When you click on the numbered door you will find:  

• an image; 
• some wondering questions; 
• a video of the story for primary children; a video that picks up the message for secondary children 
• the Bible reference for the story.   

For younger children the wondering questions relate to their own experience such as; 

• I wonder if you have ever been somewhere where you didn’t know anyone?  
• How did you feel?  

For older children, having read Luke 3:10&11 questions such as. 

• What do you find most difficult to share? 
• Who do you find it most difficult to share with? 

Please note the doors only open on, or after the date.  

Enjoy the counting down to Christmas together as a family!
