This year, the books started taking shape as more of a congregational, contributed book rather than a staff-only project. It expanded in number of pages and includes written prayers (by me!) to help guide the reader through each week. I also added my own reflection questions to each selection of scripture, though we still used an existing reading plan.

Design-wise, the goal was still to focus on the theme of Advent, giving a visual language to longing and waiting. I played with negative space and experimented with different layouts for each section. We also added some pieces to this book, as it was intended to be used as a gift for neighbours or friends of our congregants.
