    J Quill Cover Parade NINE - Advent..jpg

    Scary words for most of us! Shopping, parties, school concerts . . . December is never very relaxing.

    ​

    Take a breath. Turn your thoughts for a few minutes each day to what we're celebrating. That's why Advent was invented - to help us prepare for celebrating the birth of Christ.

    ​

    For almost 25 years, millions of people around the globe have found the Jotham's Journey series of Advent adventures helps them in that preparation. Choose one to read this year, or find another Advent resource through your church or online.

    ​

    However you do it, we pray you'll center your thoughts on the true meaning of the season.

    ​

    Because Christmas is Coming!
