Advent resources
The season of Advent begins four Sundays before Christmas and is a time of prayerful preparation. During Advent we recall the Israelites’ long wait for the Messiah’s birth and remember that Jesus was born into the world and will come again.
Each year Mission Together produce engaging resources to help children keep Jesus at the heart of this exciting season. Our resources are free to download and include scripture, prayer, craft activities and a call to action.
