Advent

by Anne Hansen

The meaning of the word ‘Advent’ is that of a coming or an arrival. The whole focus of the season of Advent is the celebration of the birth of Christ (the first Advent) and the expectation of the return of Christ (the second Advent). This season celebrates the truth about God in the coming of Christ

The Carols of Christmas devotional has been prepared by Lutheran Tract Mission for individuals, congregations, schools and aged-care facilities to print and give out to share God’s gift of grace.

This GIFT Advent event resource provides a range of ideas to encourage the sharing of Advent rituals and traditions that have been passed through many generations and an opportunity to make new ones.
