You’re invited to a global event! Join us and participants from around the world as we prayerfully and creatively anticipate the coming of Christ at Christmas — an event that awakens our deepest desires and longings. Respond to a daily meditation with images and prayers that speak to your heart and be part of a global, online, Advent Calendar that brings us together in communion across countries and languages.

Last year over 100,000 people participated and over 15,000 images were added to the calendar. How amazing to be a part of so many people praying together in a global network

It begins December 3rd, day one of the church season called Advent. Your daily AdventWord with a short meditation will arrive via email, Facebook, Twitter or Instagram by 5:00 am. You’re invited to respond — or not. The result is a crowd-sourced Advent Calendar that creates a sense of worldwide communion and wonder. Subscription is free.
