Join us each week in Advent to create, learn, and pray. There are DIY projects for families and communities that will take you from Advent to Christmas and through Epiphany. You will find DIY wreath ideas with prayers and reflections, DIY creche ideas, and information about St. Nicholas. There is also a guide to hosting an alternative gift market and our Gifts for Life Catalog.

The SALT PROJECT offers an array of group and individual Advent reflections that many at Calvary have found meaningful over the past few years. Poetry and Scritpure-based guides, family craft projects, calendars, and more are available at their site.

For this reading plan, the curator assigned a chapter of Luke each day, along with a few cross-references that speak to the main points of the reading.

The season of Advent is upon us—a season that invites us into the tension of ‘already’ and ‘not yet,’ where we hold the fragile hope that everything broken will be made whole, that every sorrow will be met with joy, and that every deep longing will be filled with love. It’s about finding a way to sit with the messiness of life while still holding on to the promise of what’s to come.

As we await the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, AdventWord inspires followers of Jesus with an accessible and creative daily prayer practice. During this holy, busy season, disciples are invited to find small moments of reflection to stay connected to their personal faith, to others, and to God.

This Advent calendar offers daily suggestions for engaging in the seven practices that encompass the Way of Love: turn, learn, pray, worship, bless, go, and rest. The calendar can also be used as a standalone resource–keep it at your desk or on your fridge and refer to it every day!
