I shall use them in our advent reflections we send those on our church mailing list.

I really enjoy these Advent short poems. Would it be possible to translate them into Portuguese to be able to share them in our church's FB page?

Thank you.
Raquel

Raquel - please feel free to translate them! We'd love to see your Portuguese versions.

I can't get the Tiny Advent Poems zip file to download, has anyone else experienced problems?

Jaqueline - it is working for me. Try on a desktop or laptop if you're using a tablet? Or just another computer. Let us know if still an issue.

I intend to use them at an advent celebration for all ages as part of churches together events

These are awesome. My mind is swimming with all the ways I can use them! I will definitely use them daily on our church Facebook page, but am thinking of ways to use them in worship as well. Thank you for this resource.

I will share on our "business" page for Camp to connect with our campers and leaders during the offseason. Thanks!

Just as I was wondering what I would do for Advent on the Presbytery Facebook page I manage, these come along...thanks so much! I’ll get creating scheduled posts...

I am leading a quiet day this week for a group of 'non-churched' young mums in our community and these initiated the theme of Ad-vent in my head! Thank you! Will use them as 'thought provokers'.
Mary

Thank you very much for these. We are going use them as an advent calendar in our church windows, turning one over each day to face outwards :)

Wow, a big thank you to Engage Worship for sharing these, and many thanks to Amy Scott Robinson. What a brilliant thought provoking way to present Advent in a new way, to all!

Love them. How can I put them on our church Facebook page? Is there a method to get them to load automatically?

These are great. Very moving.

Thank you for this- I will be sharing them on the church facebook page each day

Thank you so much for sharing these lovely poems with us. We are posting them, one a day, on the i-church forum - i-church.org/courtyard

Why are you showing a day ahead on your FB Page? ie using image 3 today? Did you skip the jigsaw one?

Hi Julie - use the numbers next to #TinyAdventPoems as the order, rather than the order of pictures above.

What a wonderful idea.....thank you Amy x

These are so beautiful and helpful in capturing that joyful, anticipation of hope for something wonderful and life changing which is what advent should be, could be if we ponder it more. Thank you

I am receiving alot of comments about these - all of them positive. Thanks so much for sharing them

I posted each day's poem on my personal Facebook page, with many of them to our church FB page too. I received lots of likes & positive comments, such as thankyou, they're a real blessing, but no-one ever answered the extra 'thought questions' I occasionally added. Thankyou for providing them. It was a privilege to share and a real sacrifice to remember to post them some days!

ps if you could do something similar for Lent, I would certainly love to repeat the process.... :)

Truly beautiful, cannot wait to share with my church... bringing hope, comfort and joy!

Now we are in lockdown again I shall use them as a daily advent calendar on our church WhatsApp group. they will encourage everyone. Thank you

Thank you - I will post these on our church FB page daily during Advent

I shall use the Advent Poems on our Facebook page and website each day. Thank you.

I would like to share your Tiny advent poems with my church on Facebook. There is no date associated with each one to know when. I have tried following on Facebook, but not coming up. Thanks. Karen

Thanks Karen, they do have a number on them (just next to the hashtag, under the poem), but we will also post them at 6am GMT each morning on Facebook from the 1st of December. Happy Advent! Sara

Thank you for all your creativity. I have used some of these as part of an online Advent Calendar at https://www.bagshotmethodistchurch.organd will add a few more. Haven't found the donation link easy to use though. Advice appreciated!

I will add them to the church's FB page daily

I would like to make a comment about advent 6 .
Christmas is a very difficult time of year for childless not by choice peoplel like me. If you are a woman who has longed for children and grandchildren, and not been able to have them, this small poem will be extremely painful and difficult to read. People in this situation are often marginalised and overlooked within church communities and are subject to a myriad of small insensitivities that make them feel they are “ different” , not as good as, less than,other women in their communities. As 19% of women age 45 years and more were childless in 2018, this group is not small in number. However they are often treated quite callously and indifferently by church communities.This poem is an example of the thoughtless way in which they can be treated. There would be ways in which this sort of topic could be more intelligently and inclusively framed.It simply requires greater sensitivity to other people’s pain.Thank you for making available a comment so I can convey how I feel about this. It is a shame because all your other poems cause me no pain at all.. In fact they are interesting and engaging for people to read, so thanks for doing them, but please bear in mind what I have said for future reference.

These are wonderful, I hope to somehow use them on our church family Whatsapp group daily during advent.
God bless you

Thank you so much for thesed. I will be sharing one per day on the church's facebook page as well as in text messages to congregants. God bless you for your work.
