What Is Advent?

Advent is a time of active waiting as we anticipate the birth of Jesus. As the Rev. Kristin Kaulbach Miles explains, it's a time to slow down and prepare our hearts for Christmas.

Simple Ways to Observe Advent with Kids

The four weeks leading up to Christmas offer an early gift to families with children: “In and outside of church, the Advent season is an opportunity to introduce kids to the stories, traditions, and people that will help ground them in the love of God,” says the Rev. Matthew A. Welsch.
