RESOURCES FOR ADVENT

Advent (December 1-24) is a time of prayer, fasting, and reflection, as Christians think about the first "advent" (coming) of Christ and anticipate the second coming, when we believe he will put all to rights, even the sin in our hearts.  Our family usually gives up something (sweets, for example) and we make it a goal to spend time in reflection and prayer.  Here are some of the best resources we've found, though we'd love to hear from you if you are aware of others:
