Advent Retreat
Advent 2023 dates: Sunday, December 3rd - Sunday, December 24th.
Each of the four Sundays in Advent offer a theme for prayer and reflection. The resources offered here are from last year's Advent Retreat, so the dates will reflect that time. These resources are being offered completely free, as a gift for you.
From the comfort of your home, the uniqueness of your city, and with our ever-present God, you can customize these resources to fit the retreat style that best suits your life. I recommend exploring these resources ahead of time and then taking a moment to establish a rhythm for your Advent journey.
