How do you get ready for Christmas?
There's so much to prepare in the lead-up to Christmas. Presents, food, decorations, cards and much, much more.
But what about you? Are you ready to celebrate the birth of Christ?
Advent is a time of preparation. In Latin, the word Advent means coming. It's something that isn't here yet, but soon will be. It's your time to get ready. Ready for the message of Christmas.
A good way to do that is with an Advent guide.
Advent guides come in a range of themes and a number of readings. From engaging courses for small groups to reflective guides for personal reading, these new study guides help you celebrate the real meaning and joy of Christmas.
