Advent Resources
Advent is a time where we focus on the Promise of the Coming King as foretold by the Prophets in the Old Testament. It focuses on longing and hope and faith. It is distinct from Christmas—which celebrates the arrival of the King. Please find the resources below as a help in your personal devotional life as well as with friends and family around your tables.
