As I posted last week, I’ve recorded four brand-new video worship services for Advent, now in the more common order. This week, Advent week 2, the theme is peace. Watch the new 44-minute worship service on peace here.

And here’s the updated written agenda for Peace.

As always, all of my services and written agendas (and every other resource I create) are suitable for older adults with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

If you’re thinking ahead (or want to use the Advent materials in a different order), here are the others:

• Last week, Advent week 1: Hope. Watch the new 44-minute worship service here. And here’s the updated written agenda for Hope.
• Advent week 3: Joy. Watch the new 43-minute worship service here. And here’s the updated written agenda for Joy.
• Advent week 4: Love. Watch the new 43-minute worship service here. And here’s the updated written agenda for Love.

I’ve also updated my Christmas Eve Candlelight Service, so consider putting that in your schedule (it’s only 36 minutes long). Here’s the written agenda as well.

Lots of Advent Resources

Looking for an uplifting holiday activity for elders? Sing Christmas carols! I’ve got 20 dementia-friendly sing-along Christmas carols on  YouTube, with easy-to-read lyrics. Or download the audio-only files and free songbooks.

Also don’t miss my Advent devotions booklet, a free downloadable resource that includes prayers, song suggestions, and even dementia-friendly crafts for each week of Advent.

If you’re interested in slightly longer but still dementia-friendly Advent Bible studies, those are here. (Also available as videos on YouTube.)

O come let us adore Him,
