Bloom in the Desert:
A Five-Week Curriculum Kit for Kids

“Bloom in the Desert” is a five-week, (sm)all-ages curriculum kit designed for Sunday School, Children’s Church, Children’s Sermons, or family use at home.

Inspired by the beautiful, resilient flowers of the North American desert, these resources explore how God calls each one of us to bloom – and also to welcome the stranger, reach out to one another in generosity, and so together create a garden where everyone can thrive.

The kit includes:

• A Leader’s Guide, designed for five weeks in Sunday School, Children’s Church, home use, or as the basis for Children’s Sermons in worship.

• Five interactive worship bulletins (or activity booklets) that can be used in worship, Sunday School, or at home.

• Five companion coloring pages, beautifully illustrated and tied to each week’s theme.

Together, let’s imagine what it looks like to be a community where love can take root and grow, even in challenging times. In God’s great garden, all of us can bloom!

Files: This listing is for a downloadable PDF, including printing instructions (all components can be printed on 8.5 x 11 paper), as well as an e-reader version of the Leader’s Guide.

Please note: you will not receive a physical product as this is a digital download. This resource is for individual use only, which means it may not be reproduced commercially, duplicated, or resold ;)

At its best, summer is a season of rest and joy – tapping into the ancient, sacred practice of sabbath restoration. Mary Oliver can help us reconnect with this dimension of summertime, savoring what she calls its “luminous sprawl of gifts.”

This devotional is designed to be flexible: use it as an individual practice of companionship with Oliver’s Devotions; or in partnership with family or friends; or with a small study group, or even a whole congregation. Spread it out over four weeks, four days, or a holiday weekend.

At each of the four steps, you’ll find a gentle rhythm to guide you: the lighting of a candle, a passage from Scripture to pair with poems in Oliver’s Devotions, a short prayer, and a song or two. Each step also includes a bouquet of “daily practices” to try, activities to help deepen your experience of the poems, the biblical passages, and the wider world they call us to love.

So grab your favorite Bible and Devotions: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver (the poems can also be found online). Step by step, we’ll make our way deep into the heart of summer, the heart of sabbath, and the heart of being human: joyful, rested, and free.

Files: This listing is for a downloadable PDF, printing instructions for the 8.5 x 11 devotional, and an e-reader version of the devotional as well.

A Chorus of Generosity: A Giving Campaign Suite

What is a “church” really? At its heart, it’s a community on a mission: to sing, and to listen, and to give – not only to each other, but also to the wider world God calls us to love.

“A Chorus of Generosity: A Giving Campaign Suite” is a fully customizable kit designed to give you and your team a beautiful, practical framework for your own campaign.

Organized around Psalm 100’s call to “make a joyful noise to God, all the earth,” and featuring many other songs in Scripture and in our lives, this kit is designed to help your congregation joyfully participate in God’s symphony of generosity.

The kit includes:

• A series of three letters, customizable to your context

• Campaign Logo and Letterhead

• A beautifully designed, customizable pledge card and giving chart

• Worship resource ideas for the campaign (four weeks’ worth), including Sermon Starters, Calls to Worship, and Benedictions

• “Best Practice” options for your campaign, including an engaging “music survey” to help identify and celebrate the congregation’s favorite hymns and spiritual songs

• A “30-Day Generosity Challenge” to help broaden and deepen what it means to be generous in our everyday lives

• Eye-catching art work to bring the campaign together, perfect for bulletins, newsletters, email, website, social media, etc.

• A lovely social media collection of campaign-specific prompts to encourage community conversation and a spirit of gratitude and generosity

(And check out SALT’s five other stewardship kits, each including these resources with different content and a different organizing theme: “All Creatures Great and Small,” “Abundant Life,” “Grace in Action,” “A Future with Hope,” and “Together for Joy.”)

Files: This listing is for a downloadable stewardship kit that includes editable Word Docs, PDFs, PNGs, and printing/usage instructions for everything. In addition, the suite also includes Canva versions of the assets (Canva is a free, user-friendly design platform that allows you to customize virtually everything about the assets to fit your context). Moreover, everything in this kit can be distributed to your congregation electronically as well.

Please note: you will not receive a physical product as this is a digital download. “A Chorus of Generosity: A Giving Campaign Suite” is for congregational use only, which means it may not be reproduced commercially, duplicated beyond the congregation, or resold :)

Let the floods clap their hands; let the hills sing together for joy.” Staying together through the delights and struggles of life - being “together for joy” - has never been more important. And while change brings financial challenges in its wake, it also brings fresh opportunities to sing to God a new song, for God has done - and will do - marvelous things.

Files: This listing is for a downloadable stewardship kit that includes editable Word Docs, PDFs, PNGs, and printing/usage instructions for everything. In addition, the suite also includes Canva versions of the assets (Canva is a free, user-friendly design platform that allows you to customize virtually everything about the assets to fit your context). Moreover, everything in this kit can be distributed electronically as well.

Holy Week Is for Making Us Whole:
A Constructive Devotional for a Divisive Time

For Christians, Holy Week is the most sacred time of the year. It’s a time to reflect on the world’s brokenness, God’s call to wholeness, and our own commitments to repair.

And not a moment too soon. We live in a time of profound turmoil, fragmentation, and partisan conflict. Now more than ever: How can the stories of Holy Week enrich and enliven our faith? How can Christians personally and communally respond in this time of division and rising tyranny, without exacerbating the very divisions we hope to help heal? How can we help build up the Beloved Community, even when we disagree?

Holy Week is for all of these questions and more. Holy Week is for making us whole.

In this week-long devotional, each holiday – Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday – includes a simple service: a biblical reading, a reflection, an opening and closing prayer, and a few suggested songs. A circle of candles (tealights, for example) is gradually extinguished, one by one, as we move through the week – and then is relit and expanded with the radiant, hopeful joy of Easter morning.

And along the way, we explore key themes and practices essential not only to Holy Week, but also to faithful Christian life in times like these: standing up for truth without partisanship; listening and speaking with love; loving our enemies; and living in solidarity.

Files: This listing is for a downloadable PDF, printing instructions for the 8.5 x 11 devotional, and an e-reader version of the devotional as well.

Understanding the Cross: A Home-Based Holy Week Devotional on Jesus’ “Seven Last Words”

The cross is everywhere: inside sanctuaries and atop church steeples, in jewelry and art, tattoos and logos, billboards and graffiti.

But what does the cross actually mean? How should we understand it?

In this Holy Week devotional, we explore seven ways of looking at the cross, using as points of entry Jesus’ traditional “seven last words.” Taken together, these different lines of sight create a complementary whole, as well as a reminder that there is no single “right answer” to what the cross means for us today. To approach the cross is to embark upon a lifetime of contemplation and struggle, inquiry and insight, wonder and praise.

Each day of the week, Sunday to Saturday, includes simple devotional service: a biblical reading, a reflection, and an opening and closing prayer. A circle of candles (tealights, for example) is extinguished, one by one, as we approach Good Friday - and the empty tomb of Easter morning.

Files: This listing is for a downloadable PDF printable on 8.5 x 11 paper, an e-reader version, a printable version, and printing instructions.

Life Stories: A 40-Day Devotional on Madeleine L’Engle’s A Circle of Quiet

The Bible is brimming with stories of struggle, pain, joy, and wonder – just like the stories of our lives.

In this 40-day devotional – perfect for the season of Lent, or any other seven-week span – we set out on a pilgrimage with Madeleine L’Engle as our guide, exploring biblical stories alongside passages from her classic memoir, A Circle of Quiet.

Created in collaboration with the stewards of L’Engle’s legacy, this resource invites us to follow her lead, retelling the stories of our lives as we take stock of how far we’ve come, reconnect with where we are, and turn the page toward the future, catching sight of what God is calling us to do next.

L’Engle is the author of the beloved A Wrinkle in Time – and also a celebrated poet, playwright, and memoirist, winner of the Newbery Medal and a National Humanities Medal, and one of most imaginative, engaging Christian writers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

“Life Stories: A 40-Day Devotional on Madeleine L’Engle’s A Circle of Quiet” comes complete with biblical passages, reflections, writing prompts, activities, and extended excerpts from A Circle of Quiet printed directly into the devotional.

The scriptural passages in this devotional correspond to Year A in the Revised Common Lectionary during Lent – but since their themes are universal, this devotional can be used fruitfully during any Lenten season, or indeed during any seven-week span, any time of year.

Files: This listing is for a downloadable PDF, printing instructions for the 8.5 x 11 devotional, and an e-reader version of the devotional as well.

From the gray of Ash Wednesday to the brilliant dawn of Easter Sunday, the season of Lent is a journey through color. And so what better guides to this journey than the words of Scripture and the art of Henri Matisse, one of the most daring, influential artists in modern history?

(For a family-oriented version of this devotional, check out “Into the Wild: A Family-Friendly Devotional on Henri Matisse and the Season of Lent.” And by the way, the two resources are designed so they can be used side-by-side, for families who want to explore the season together, across generations.)

In this devotional full of Scripture, art, and weekly practices, we walk alongside Matisse from his childhood in northern France to what he called his “masterpiece,” the Chapel of the Rosary in Vence.

He once said he liked to pray with a pencil: “At the moment I go every morning to say my prayers, pencil in hand; I stand in front of a pomegranate tree covered in blossom, each flower at a different stage, and I watch their transformation… filled with admiration for the work of God. Is this not a way of praying?”

So grab a pencil (or a paintbrush!), your favorite Bible, and a decent internet connection (all the paintings referenced here can be found online, and each purchase comes with a companion “Link Sheet” pdf for guidance). Week by week, we’ll travel through the colors of Lent – all the way to the beautiful, joyful dawn of Easter morning.

From the gray of Ash Wednesday to the brilliant dawn of Easter Sunday, the season of Lent is a journey through color. And so what better guides to this journey than the words of Scripture and the art of Henri Matisse, one of the most daring, influential artists in modern history?

(For a family-oriented version of this devotional, check out “Into the Wild: A Family-Friendly Devotional on Henri Matisse and the Season of Lent.” And by the way, the two resources are designed so they can be used side-by-side, for congregations who want to explore the season together, across generations.)

In this devotional full of Scripture, art, and weekly practices, we walk alongside Matisse from his childhood in northern France to what he called his “masterpiece,” the Chapel of the Rosary in Vence.

He once said he liked to pray with a pencil: “At the moment I go every morning to say my prayers, pencil in hand; I stand in front of a pomegranate tree covered in blossom, each flower at a different stage, and I watch their transformation… filled with admiration for the work of God. Is this not a way of praying?”

So grab a pencil (or a paintbrush!), your favorite Bible, and a decent internet connection (all the paintings referenced here can be found online, and each purchase comes with a companion “Link Sheet” pdf for guidance). Week by week, we’ll travel through the colors of Lent – all the way to the beautiful, joyful dawn of Easter morning.

The scriptural passages in this devotional correspond to Year A in the Revised Common Lectionary – but since their themes are universal, this devotional can be used fruitfully during any Lenten season.

Into the Wild: A Family-Friendly Devotional on Henri Matisse and the Season of Lent

The Season of Lent is a walk into the wild, a 40-day adventure filled with wild beasts, wild love, beauties, challenges, visions – and bold, bright colors.

He once said he liked to pray with a pencil: “At the moment I go every morning to say my prayers, pencil in hand; I stand in front of a pomegranate tree covered in blossom, each flower at a different stage, and I watch their transformation… filled with admiration for the work of God. Is this not a way of praying?”

So grab a pencil (or a crayon, or a paintbrush!), your favorite Bible, and a decent internet connection (all the paintings referenced here can be found online; each purchase comes with a companion “Link Sheet” pdf for guidance). Week by week, with the words of Scripture and the art of Henri Matisse as our guides, we’ll head into the wild – all the way to the beautiful, joyful love of Easter morning.

40-Day “Love Builds Up” Family Challenge

SALT’s “40-Day ‘Love Builds Up’ Family Challenge” is the perfect way for families of all shapes and sizes to strengthen spiritual muscles and emotional health during Lent.  We could all use a little training - and a little practice!

Here’s the challenge: For each of the six weeks of Lent, spend some time at the beginning of the week (Sunday night, maybe?) reading that week’s Bible passage together.  Talk as a family about the suggested topic, using the devotional’s optional conversation prompts if you like. Commit to taking on an action or practice for that week - and then just watch as the Realm of God fills, strengthens, and beautifies your house and the world!

SALT teamed up with Rev. Quinn Caldwell - author, pastor, and preacher extraordinaire! - to create this thoughtful and engaging Lenten resource.  It comes complete with an editable page on which you can enter any events on your family’s calendar - service projects, upcoming worship services, and other Lenten activities - before printing. The result is a devotional that looks and feels like your own, organically integrated into the life of your family and congregation.

Files: This listing is for downloadable PDFs and comes with printing instructions.  It’s designed for printing on legal size paper; if your printer cannot accommodate that size paper, Staples (or another local printer) can print it.  For ease of printing and duplication, this resource is designed in black and white (so it won’t break the bank!).

CLIMATE + FAITH:
HOW WE CAN HELP MEET THE GREATEST CHALLENGE IN HUMAN HISTORY

2023 was Earth’s hottest year in recorded history. The time has come: God’s call to action – to protect and preserve a healthy climate for all – is ringing like a church bell.

Indeed, in virtually every transformative movement – from abolitionism to women’s suffrage to child labor protections – people of faith have been at the center of the action. To love the world, and put our love into practice. To care for creation, and pass it on to the next generation better than we found it.

This seven-week, 40-day devotional takes a “love-and-act” approach (rather than “doom-and-gloom”), building on our love for our neighbors, near and far, and our love for God, Maker of heaven and earth.

So grab your favorite Bible and a decent internet connection (each purchase comes with a “Link Sheet” pdf with links to excellent video and written resources). Step by step, we’ll engage with Scripture and tradition, science and faith – all for the sake of building a custom-made, solution-oriented action plan for participating in the Spirit’s ongoing, transformative movement for the life of the world.

This 40-day devotional can be used any time of year, including (but not limited to) the Season of Lent; each week includes references to classic biblical texts, including the Lenten passages from Year B in the Revised Common Lectionary – but since its themes are universal, this resource can be used fruitfully during any seven-week span, or adapted to a weekend or full-day retreat.

Finally, each devotional also includes an editable “Events” page on the back, on which you can add your church name and any upcoming services or events you want to highlight.

C.S. Lewis and the Delightful, Diabolical Daring of Lent:
A Lenten Companion to “The Screwtape Letters”

The 40 days of Lent poetically evoke the 40 days Jesus spent in the wilderness being “tested by the devil” – and in one of his most beloved works of fiction, C.S. Lewis turned a satirical, insightful eye on the idea of such “testing.”

The result was “The Screwtape Letters,” a playful, perceptive study of human life and struggle through the eyes of two fanciful characters: Wormwood, a young demon-in-training, and Screwtape, his uncle and mentor. Through 31 letters – by turns comic and devastating – Screwtape advises his nephew about how best to sabotage a human being’s attempts to live a faithful, fruitful, beautiful life.

And so this Lenten season, what better way to participate in Jesus’ 40 days of being “tested in the wilderness” than to walk with C.S. Lewis, leaning into the power of literature to provoke thought and inspire action. With humor, wit, and imagination, Lewis explores an array of familiar, everyday struggles – and thereby helps us chart a way forward, into the delight and renewal of Easter morning and beyond.

So grab your favorite Bible and a copy of “The Screwtape Letters” (it’s available as a free pdf online, as well as from booksellers for less than $10; there’s even an audiobook read by John Cleese, of Monty Python fame!). Week by week, we’ll travel through these 40 days with C.S. Lewis as our guide, making us laugh, reflect, and prepare for the joy of Easter in a whole new way.

The scriptural passages in this devotional correspond to Year B in the Revised Common Lectionary – but since their themes are universal, this devotional can be used fruitfully during any Lenten season.

C.S. Lewis and the Delightful, Diabolical Daring of Lent:
A Lenten Companion to “The Screwtape Letters”

The 40 days of Lent poetically evoke the 40 days Jesus spent in the wilderness being “tested by the devil” – and in one of his most beloved works of fiction, C.S. Lewis turned a satirical eye on the idea of such “testing.”

The result was “The Screwtape Letters,” a playful, perceptive study of human life and struggle through the eyes of two fanciful characters: Wormwood, a young demon-in-training, and Screwtape, his uncle and mentor. Through 31 letters – by turns comic and devastating – Screwtape advises his nephew about how best to sabotage a human being’s attempts to live a faithful, fruitful, beautiful life.

And so this Lenten season, what better way to participate in Jesus’ 40 days of being “tested in the wilderness” than to walk with C.S. Lewis, leaning into the power of literature to provoke thought and inspire action. With humor, wit, and imagination, Lewis explores an array of familiar, everyday struggles – and thereby helps us chart a way forward, into the delight and renewal of Easter morning and beyond.

Lent is a pilgrimage from death into new life, suffering into resurrection, fallow ground into flowers - and this printable, interactive calendar can help you and your family anticipate and celebrate the blooms along the way.

Each week has its own set of beautifully illustrated cards, all organized around a wonderful blend of art, science, and delight known as “floriography,” the secret language of flowers. 

Amazing fun facts, engaging discussion starters, and creative, accessible activities pollinate the six weekdays, and each Sunday’s card invites you into a simple service, including words from Scripture, a bite-sized reflection, and a prayer. Forty-four cards in all (including for Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday)!

Best of all, the calendar’s flexible design allows for use in whatever makes most sense for you and your family: draw a card a day, pick your favorites, or discuss all seven cards at a weekly meal. Whatever you decide, “Floriography” is sure to infuse this Lenten season with wonder, reflection, and conversation as we approach the blooming beauty of Easter morning.

Files: This listing is for a download (not a physical product) of a zipped folder of high resolution PDF files for you to reproduce on 8.5x11 inch white card stock; a digital reader version; and individual jpegs of each card for sharing on social media.

Printing and Cutting: Print PDFs at 100%, in horizontal format, on 8.5x11 inch white card stock for vibrant results. Then simply cut along the thin gray lines with scissors, an exacto-knife and ruler, or (our favorite!) pinking shears. 

Finally, this resource is for personal use only, which means it may not be reproduced commercially, duplicated beyond the household, or resold :)

Happy counting down the days!

Vincent van Gogh devoted his life to light.

The light of creation, the light of painting, the light of God’s grace – and the light in humanity, mind, body, and soul. The son of a Christian pastor, Vincent fervently set out to be a preacher and missionary himself, but his ministry eventually took the form of nearly 900 paintings shimmering with dynamism, with passion, and above all, with light.

The word “Lent” refers to the “lengthening” light, the growing days that, in time, will coax the sunflowers to open, the wheat fields to rise again, and the irises to bloom. What better companion on this forty-day pilgrimage, then, than Vincent van Gogh, this apostle of light?

In this Lenten devotional, the words of Scripture and the paintings and letters of Vincent van Gogh will be our guides. Each week, biblical texts and Van Gogh’s work throw light on each other, pointing toward simple, powerful practices you can try yourself, with your family or friends, or with your congregation.

So grab your favorite Bible and a decent internet connection (all the paintings referenced here can be found online; each purchase comes with a companion “Link Sheet” pdf for guidance). Week by week, we’ll travel this Lenten journey together toward the light of Easter morning – with Vincent van Gogh as our guide.

The scriptural passages in this devotional correspond to Year C in the Revised Common Lectionary – but since their themes are universal, this devotional can be used fruitfully during any Lenten season.  

Files: This listing is for a downloadable PDF, printing instructions, an e-reader version, and a companion “Link Sheet” with hyperlinks to all the paintings mentioned in the devotional.

This devotional is full of ideas and activities that can help us wake up, too, preparing our hearts, minds, and communities for Easter’s great celebration. Each week, biblical texts and creation’s wonders inspire practices you can try yourself, with your family or friends, or with your congregation.

So grab your favorite Bible and some candles (tealights work nicely!), and over the next 40 days, week by week, we’ll look for treasures that can help bring us back to hope, back to love, back to life!

The scriptural passages in this devotional correspond to Year C in the Revised Common Lectionary – but since their themes are universal, this devotional can be used fruitfully during any Lenten season.  

(SALT has a Customizable Short Film (CSF), “Picturing Resurrection,” designed as a companion to this devotional, for a seamless approach to the season.

The film includes the same art and themes as the devotional – and every purchase of the film comes with the devotional for free!)

“It gets darker and darker,” the poet Wendell Berry once remarked, “and then Jesus is born.”

Each week, this devotional explores biblical texts, Berry’s insights, and weekly practices you can try yourself, with your family or friends, or with your congregation. As our eloquent guide to the season, Berry helps our eyes adjust to the darkness – the better to notice the light. 

So grab your favorite Bible and collections of Berry’s poetry (the poems in this devotional can also be found online). Week by week, we’ll make our way through the shadows, arriving at last on Christmas day, that beautiful glimpse of what Berry calls “Heaven’s earthly life.”

Advent is a season of shadows – and at the same time, of hope, peace, joy, love, and light. These five little books can help explore these key Advent themes as the season unfolds.

They’re a delight to assemble, decorate, read together, and display: set them up on a window sill, a mantle, around an Advent wreath, or up on the Christmas tree. Five beautiful, revolutionary ornaments – inspiring signs that even now, God’s Spirit is working with us and through us to help turn this upside-down world right-side up!

Each booklet focuses on an Advent theme in a fun, accessible way: hope, peace, joy, love, and light for Christmas Eve. And they’re inspired by “zines” (short for “magazines” or “fanzines”), homemade booklets that have proclaimed engaging, countercultural ideas for nearly a century. From 1930s sci-fi fans to 1970s punks, feminists, poets, and justice movements, zines are all about bold art, fresh ideas, and inspiring visions of the future. A perfect match for Advent and Christmas!

Perfect for individuals and families of all shapes and sizes, these five little books help capture the world-changing essence of the season – and artfully set the stage for Christmas morning.

The scriptural passages in this devotional correspond to Year A in the Revised Common Lectionary – but since their themes are universal, this devotional can be used fruitfully during any Advent season.

Files: This listing is for a downloadable PDF, printing instructions for the five booklets, each made on 8.5 x 11 paper, as well as a collection of JPG versions of the booklets’ individual pages, suitable for posting on social media.

Songbirds know a thing or two about singing into darkness: in the wee hours of the morning, before the sun appears over the horizon, they begin a great symphony that scientists call the “dawn chorus.”

Advent is the church’s dawn chorus. In this devotional designed for families of all shapes and sizes, we walk with scripture through the season’s four weeks of hope, peace, joy, and love, singing into shadows and looking to the light.

Each week includes a simple candlelight service (light a candle, read a passage from scripture and a short reflection, and sing a dawn chorus song or two); a few bird-related fun facts to share (try taking turns reading them around the table!); some provocative conversation starters; a handful of ideas for service during the week; and a lovely, simple bird ornament to cut out, decorate, and hang on your tree or around the house.

This resource includes an introduction to Advent, as well as an editable page on which you can enter upcoming events on your church, personal, or family calendar.

Advent is a season of waiting and watching for God to come near: keeping awake, staying alert, and paying attention. For Mary Oliver, poetry is a beautiful way to sharpen our senses, helping us notice what we might otherwise miss.

In this Advent devotional, biblical texts and accessible practices interact with Oliver’s poems to create a four-week journey to Christmas morning. All you’ll need is your favorite Bible and Oliver’s classic collection, “Devotions” (all the poems referenced in the devotional can also be found online). Week by week, we’ll walk through the woods and along the seashore, with Mary Oliver as our guide.

This resource includes an introduction to the Advent season, as well as an editable page on which you can enter upcoming events on your personal or family calendar.

The scriptural passages in this devotional correspond to Year C in the Revised Common Lectionary - but since their themes are universal, this devotional can be used fruitfully during any Advent season.

Files: This listing is for a downloadable PDF, printing instructions for 8.5 x 11 paper, and an e-reader version of the devotional.

God becoming incarnate in a human being is too astounding, too dazzling, too impossible an event to merely celebrate on a single day. Poetry (and podcasts!) can help - and the Irish poet and theologian Pádraig Ó Tuama’s beloved podcast, “Poetry Unbound,” is an inspiring case in point: evocative, accessible poems illuminated with sensitivity and insight by Ó Tuama’s commentary. 

In this Advent devotional, we let scripture and “Poetry Unbound” be our guides, together pointing us toward weekly practices that can help deepen and enrich our experience of the season – a perfect way to prepare for the hope, peace, joy, and love of Christmas day.

So grab a Bible and your favorite way of listening to the “Poetry Unbound” podcast (the poems and episode transcripts can also be read online). Week by week, poem by poem, we’ll wait and prepare and listen and sing, unbinding the season – and with God’s help, unbinding our hearts – along the way.

Christmas has become the biggest holiday in North America, and arguably the biggest in the world - and in many ways, it’s become a holiday of “more”: more presents, more stuff, more events, more expectations, more stress.

But as it turns out, if we dial back the more, we get closer to the heart of Advent and Christmas. “A ‘Less is More’ Christmas Poster and Devotional” is a fun-filled, faith-filled way to help you and your family do exactly that!

The poster is packed with activity ideas. Put it up on your fridge (or in some other prominent spot), and check off the activities as you do them, in no particular order.

And the devotional includes simple weekly Advent services to help the family connect to the deeper meanings of the season, as well as handy instructions for some of the activities on the poster. Together, the poster and devotional will help make this Advent and Christmas the most “less is more” yuletide yet!

Files: This listing is for downloadable PDFs, printing instructions, and an e-reader version of the resources. The devotional is designed for printing on 8.5 x 11 paper; the poster on 8.5 x 14 paper or card stock.

There’s so much in a name. Ask an expectant parent choosing names for their unborn child or a trans person working to live into their true self. For Christians, nobody has more names and titles than Jesus, and during the season of Advent, we use as many of them as we can. Wonderful Counselor. Prince of Peace. Light of the World. Good Shepherd. Bright Morning Star. Emmanuel. God With Us.

“Naming Jesus: A Family-Friendly Advent Devotional” is all about the many names we give to Jesus, and the life-changing names he gives to us. Organized around the season’s four traditional themes (Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love), “Naming Jesus” features a simple, home-based weekly Advent service for each week, including a scripture passage, reflection, and prayer. Several accessible, family-friendly practices round out each week, all designed to bring a little more meaning and mystery to your Christmas preparations and celebrations - plus a few fun “anytime” activities to do along the way.

SALT teamed up with the inimitable Rev. Quinn Caldwell to create this lovely devotional. Each order comes with two versions: one printable (this can be printed in color or in grey scale), and one laid out for your favorite e-reader.

These Advent coloring posters are full of vivid, evocativeness: stars falling, deserts blooming, and a young woman proclaiming God’s revolution of love through song.  What better way to encounter and inhabit these images than through creativity and color!

We’re thrilled to announce that SALT has teamed up with illustrator extraordinaire Jordan Sunburg of Tin Cup Design to bring churches and families around the world five extraordinary coloring pages (8 1/2 x 11) – inspired by this year’s lectionary texts – fit for Advent artists of all ages. These coloring posters are a perfect Advent calendar gift idea.

As you well know, coloring pages are everywhere, and for good reason:  for young and old alike, coloring can be expressive, meditative, stress-relieving, and just plain fun.  SALT’s modern and theologically rich designs invite folks into the season’s deeper meanings and mysteries, and the posters’ large-scale size makes building intergenerational community a cinch, since several people can gather around them and color together.

A rainbow of options await:

• Imagine a coloring station for children inside the sanctuary during worship

• Imagine a Sunday School class gathering around a poster each week of the season, breathing color into hope, peace, joy, and love

• Imagine intergenerational Advent workshops where the posters are colored, discussed, and then displayed as milestones on the journey to the manger

• Imagine an elder care ministry using the posters in a nursing home, or connecting elders and children through crayons and creativity

Getting started is as easy as one, two, three:

1. Your digital image file will be available for download immediately upon completing your purchase.

2. Email the files to your local printer (Staples and FedEx work great!) and ask to have each poster printed on 4’x3’ “engineering print” paper. Please note: it’s important to stress that you’d like to have it printed on “engineering print” paper and not as a banner; printing all five banners should be less than $40 to print.

3. Unleash your community’s imagination and let it shine! And, be sure to send us pictures of your Advent masterpieces - no hiding under bushel baskets allowed!

In the face of racism, inequality, prejudice, and privilege, do you ever wonder what next steps you can take with your family and friends, neighbors and co-workers, for the sake of God’s justice and love? Or how best to be an effective ally (or co-conspirator)?

“The Anatomy of a Christian: A Zine on Privilege and Solidarity” is here to help. In the classic style of a “zine” (a homemade, DIY, small-batch, easy-to-reproduce “magazine” format pioneered in the 1960s and 70s), “The Anatomy of a Christian” takes the ancient image of the Body of Christ as a framework and springboard for exploring the challenges of inequality, privilege, and solidarity in our lives.

Divided into five sections (which can unfold over five weeks, or five days, or whatever schedule works best for you), “The Anatomy of a Christian” is tailor-made for families and small groups of all shapes and sizes. Each section includes a theme, scripture passage, reflection, prayer, conversation starters, and some simple, accessible activities to try - all for the sake of building a healthier Body of Christ, and a more vibrant, just, inclusive Beloved Community. 

A big SALT thank you to Quinn Caldwell for his thinking, writing, and overall awesomeness and to Sandhya Jha (over at Without Fear Consulting) for offering a cultural humility and anti-oppression read of this text (and for her excitement about families engaging deeply in this work of healing Christ's body together!).

“Hospitality Audit: Tools of the Trade” Guide + Poster

Hospitality is at the heart of Christian life, and so for churches today, the question is: as we move forward, how can we widen and deepen the “welcome” we’re offering to the world? What are we doing well? What can we improve? How can we become a place that feels a little more like home to sojourners traveling along life’s way?

SALT’s “Hospitality Audit: Tools of the Trade” is a lively, theologically grounded, step-by-step guide for congregations to evaluate their hospitality and make intentional, doable, effective improvements. The root of the word “audit” is “to hear,” and accordingly, each “tool of the trade” in this resource functions as a portal through which we can listen to a specific dimension of church life - from web presence to music to coffee hour.

Written by the amazing Sandhya Rani Jha, this 20-page booklet is packed with scripture, accessible theology, practical tips, and effective strategies for renewing your congregation’s hospitality. Perfect for pastors, lay leaders, and teams devoted to more effectively representing God’s wide open welcome, remembering we are guests welcomed by the One who made us to welcome one another.

What’s more, each purchase also comes with the beautifully designed, hand illustrated “Hospitality: Tools of the Trade” Poster - a lovely reminder and celebration of the many tools of hospitality at the heart of Christian life, both at church and at home.

And for a seamless, multidimensional approach featuring the same artwork, SALT’s “Hospitality: Tools of the Trade” Kit comes with a “Hospitality” Customizable Short Film, the “Hospitality Audit” printable, and the “Hospitality: Tools of the Trade” poster. Use the film, audit, and poster together for a holistic, church-wide “Welcome Campaign”!

Files: This listing is for downloadable PDFs, printing instructions, and an e-reader version of the resources. Any or all of these can be distributed electronically to members of your congregation.
