Celebrating Advent

On Sunday we celebrate the first Sunday of Advent and then begins the first week of Advent. Advent means ‘coming’. We are invited to prepare for the coming of Jesus Christ. We mark each week by lighting one of five candles, the final one being lit on Christmas Day, representing Christ as the light of the world. 

To prepare for Advent, you are invited to consider using the Jesse Tree resource, which invites families to count down the days until Christmas, drawing upon Old Testament figures through to Jesus.
