Congregational Advent ads for your local newspaper

These ads proclaim that your congregation follows Jesus, Prince of Peace, and invites others to join you to worship him this Advent season.

Two ads: one trusts our security to Jesus (implying that we don't rely on weapons); the other encourages adults not to buy war toys for children.

You might use these ads as general invitations to your congregation's worship, or specifically to advent or Christmas Eve services. Perhaps your congregation leads workshops on toys, or maybe one of your sermons will be on the message of peace present in Christ's birth, and you want to specifically mention those events.
