Advent Resources:
 
  1. Online Advent devotional (using images):  Advent Word:  https://adventword.org/en/home/
AdventWord provides visual and written meditations during the liturgical season of Advent.  Each morning during Advent, the meditations are distributed: on AdventWord.org, Email, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. 
Around the world, prayers ascend in response to the meditations. People post their reflections on their respective social media pages, tagging AdventWord on the platform. From there, AdventWord shares and reposts on each site – amplifying the prayers during this holy season. Find the social feed on our website, or on your favorite social media platform.
