Advent is a time to open ourselves to the love of God in Christ in a new way, as we ponder the traditional themes of the season: expectation, hope, preparation and longing.

This popular devotional resource, produced by Presbyterians Today magazine, contains Scripture readings, meditations and prayers for each day of the Advent season.

New in this year’s calendar: A journaling adventure!
Children, families and individual users are invited to deepen their engagement with the biblical texts through the spiritual practice of journaling. Each day’s meditation includes a suggestion for expressing thoughts and prayers in words or art.

Teresa Blythe, author of this year’s calendar, is a spiritual director living in Tucson, Ariz. She is the former media review editor for Presbyterians Today and author of 50 Ways to Pray: Practices from Many Traditions and Times.
