Advent is here again. If you don't know what Advent
is, click here
for a quick look at it's background.
Using
the advent Calendar below, find today's date and click on it to
see today's verse or Bible reading. Plan to take time each day
to read the verse or Bible reading, meditate and pray. You can
also download the People Of Hope picture, and colour it in gradually
throughout Advent, adding the smiles as you go. The stories of
hope are from round the World Church - can you add your own?
Make your daily prayers reflective of the whole
world of gift and need, strength and weakness, joy and sorrow,
remembering Africa, Asia, the Americas and the Caribbean, Europe
and the whole Pacific region. Be as specific as possible - the
whole World needs our prayers.
We have a Gospel to proclaim:
Good news for all upon the earth!
Move your mouse
over the stars until you find today's date, then click to see
your Advent Verse or Bible reading.
This Online Advent Calendar is based on
an Advent Activity Book produced by St Albans Diocese Council for
Partnership in World Mission 2004, and devised by Jenny Ottewell
