Advent is a time of waiting, hope, and joyful
preparation as we look forward to celebrating the
birth of Christ. To help you journey through these
special weeks, we’ve created 24 daily reflections—simple things to read, pray, and do—one for each day leading up to Christmas.
This resource is designed to guide you in pausing, reflecting, and drawing closer to God amidst the busyness of the season.
Check out our Facebook Page each day and discover daily encouragements to prepare your heart and home for the coming of Christ.
