Bring the Christmas Story to Life—Together!
A Complete, Ready-to-Use Advent Program for Churches, Women's Ministries & Small Groups
What if your church could experience the Christmas story through the eyes of those who were part of it?
Imagine hearing Mary's wonder when the angel appeared, Joseph's struggle to trust God's unexpected plan, Elizabeth's joy, or the shepherds' amazement as the night sky filled with angels.
Advent Through Their Eyes: The Story Unfolds brings these familiar moments to life through heartfelt, first-person character readings woven together with Advent candle lighting, Scripture, prayer, and music.
And the best part? We've done the planning for you!
No elaborate production. No costumes. No memorizing lines. Just a group of willing readers sharing the beautiful story of our Savior's birth.

A Beautiful Companion to Our Advent Devotional Journal
This program was inspired by our beloved Advent Through Their Eyes devotional journal.
While the program allows your group to experience the Christmas story together, the devotional journal invites each person to continue that journey through daily Scripture, reflections, prayers, and journaling.
Together, they offer a meaningful way to prepare hearts for Christmas.
This Advent, don't just retell the Christmas story. Invite your church or group to experience its wonder through fresh eyes.
