Advent Online - Caitlyn’s MEGA list of Advent resources
Experience Advent at church, in your earbuds, on your phone, on social media, and online
The air is cooling, the nights are growing longer, the vestments in the worship space have turned blue – the season of Advent is upon us.
Advent practices often take a back seat to our Lenten fasts, thanks in no small part to the hustle and bustle of parties, decorating, and domestic preparations. It can be hard to slow down and devoutly read an Advent book, or piously pray the Daily Office, and fasting during Christmas Cookie Season is nearly out of the question.
Maybe you’re not a book person. Maybe you have a long commute. Or maybe you crave more this season.
Below you'll find Caitlyn’s MEGA list of ways you can experience Advent electronically, through your earbuds, on your cell phones, on your social media, and much more. God reached out to us in such an unlikely way – in baby boy born in a barn. God continues to reach out to us, meeting us where we are to call us to God's Love, even in our emails and Instagrams. Peruse the lists below to find what might be a place where God can reach out to you while waiting at your desk, in your car, or while you wait in line.
May you be blessed this Advent season as we celebrate Christ’s first coming and wait together in hope for his second coming.
