AdventWord is an inspirational online Advent calendar. Our community helps deepen our understanding of the coming of Jesus into the world through the practices of shared meditation and prayer. Come pray with us!
There are many ways to participate in AdventWord! And all of them are correct!
• Read and pray over the daily emailed meditation during Advent
• Connect and discuss the day’s word with other disciples on our social media pages
• Share your own personal meditation to inspire others—whether visual or written. Haikus and poems, paintings, photographs, personal reflections, and more are all encouraged.
AdventWord is an offering of Forward Movement, a ministry of the Episcopal Church.
Behind each door you will find a variety of reflections, prayers, art, and music from different voices in our network around the topic of Welcoming All: refugees, asylum seekers, and immigrants.
Advent with Episcopal Relief and Development.
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.
To accompany the “Journeying the Way of Love” curriculum, use the Advent calendar, which 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!
