Church Advent Welcomes

Church Advent Service Welcomes

This Church Advent Welcome category is for churches to welcome congregants to Advent Services during the Christmas Season.

While some denominations observe the advent season and others do not, these welcomes will be a wonderful addition to your services for those who do!

It’s wonderful that Jesus came to this earth over 2,000 years ago to offer Hope, Faith, Joy, Peace and Light to a world that was so in need of all those qualities to be revealed in Christ!

First Sunday in Advent Church Letter or Welcome – Hope

Greetings in Jesus the King!

Welcome! Today is the first Sunday in the Advent season. Can you think of some of the Biblical themes of this season? Certainly, the love and faithfulness of God our Father is high up there, but have you ever considered the idea of hope? Although it may not be the first thing that comes to mind during the Christmas season, there is much to consider.

In fact, hope is a very prominent theme in Advent. The anticipation of the coming Messiah is always in light of the hope we have in his return. Just as the Israelites hoped for their deliverance, we too look forward to the final deliverance, his return in glory where he will create a new heavens and a new earth. As the prophet Isaiah proclaims:

Second Sunday in Advent Church Letter or Welcome – Peace

Greetings in Jesus!

Welcome! We are inching ever closer to Christmas day, the day that we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, the light of the world. We are coming to that realization that God is in our midst. As the prophet says:

The Lord, your God, is in your midst, a mighty Savior; He will rejoice over you with gladness, and renew you in His love, He will sing joyfully because of you, as one sings at festivals. Zephaniah 3:17

The second week in Advent is traditionally the week of peace. Christians often refer to Jesus as the “Prince of Peace,” and the Psalms are full of references to God bestowing peace upon his people, as the Psalmist writes:

Third Sunday in Advent Church Letter or Welcome – Rejoice

Greetings in Jesus the King!

Welcome! Can you believe it is already the third week of Advent? With Christmas approaching, we can often get caught up in the business and stress that comes with the holiday season. With so much going on around us, it is important that we remain focused on the real meaning of Christmas.

Fifth Sunday in Advent Church Letter or Welcome – Light and Purity

Greetings in Jesus!

Isaiah 60:1 tells us this: Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.

As you know, this scripture was written by the prophet Isaiah hundreds of years before Jesus was born!

Today, we continue to celebrate this wonderful Savior, Jesus Christ came to be not only “a” light to the world but “THE” light that would be needed to guide us!

Fourth Sunday in Advent Church Letter or Welcome – Love

Good [morning/afternoon/evening], and welcome to [Name of Church]! We are so glad to have you join us today as we celebrate the fourth and final Sunday of Advent—a time of preparation and anticipation as we draw near to Christmas.

This morning, our focus is on love—the greatest gift of all. As we light the fourth candle on the Advent wreath, we are reminded of God’s boundless love for us, shown in the most profound way through the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ.
