There are liturgies for an outdoor celebration with fireworks, a Christingle service and a longest night service, as well as Advent candle ceremonies, personal prayer practices, a series of responses and blessings and a cats' Advent calendar.

A companion resource book, Hay & Stardust , covering the season of Christmastide, from Christmas Eve to Candlemas, is also available.
