Montreat Conference Center
"Love has come, He never will leave us!
Love is life everlasting and free.
Love is Jesus within and among us.
Love is the peace our hearts are seeking.
Love! Love! Love is the gift of Christmas.
Love! Love! Praise to You, God on high!"
With warmest greetings from all of us at Montreat Conference Center, we're excited to introduce our Christmas Collection.

During this distant and perhaps unfamiliar holiday season, we wanted to find a way to bring the joy of a Christmas in the mountains directly into your home. We invited every department at Montreat to contribute a piece to what we’re calling Montreat’s 2020 Christmas Collection. See below for the whole collection. We will also be releasing parts of the collection on our social media over the next two weeks as we countdown to Christmas! For the collection on a webpage that you can continue to reference over the holidays, visit montreat.org/christmascollection2020. Feel free to share with friends, family, or your congregation!

From recipes to coloring pages to a Christmas dinner devotional, we hope that you will find a bit of Christmas spirit in every piece.
Coloring Pages

We hope people of all ages enjoy these coloring pages! Download and print these sheets for coloring or download the app Colorscape to your phone or tablet and color these winter scenes digitally. When you've finished coloring, upload your picture to social media and tag us so we can see your beautiful work!

Eric also kindly included some classic Christmas music beautifully played on the organ at Austin Presbyterian Seminary. The recording includes Good Christian Friends Rejoice, Variations on Adeste Fideles, and What Child is This. Click on the image above for the organ concert!
Christmas Dinner Devotional
This mealtime ritual and devotional was created by Montreat's Program Department. You can download the images below or click here to download the pdf. Grab a candle or a few for the family and as you sit down to eat sometime in the coming weeks we invite you to reflect, read scripture, sing, and pray.
Christmas Recipes

Have you ever wanted to know the secret to Amaand’s pumpkin bread or Jody’s pimento cheese? Our friends from the Assembly Inn kitchen put together some of their favorite Christmas recipes for you to try at home over the holidays! We’ve also included a sugar cookie recipe and would love for you to make and decorate a cookie that represents Montreat and share it with us!
