Christmas is coming and there are plenty of advent calendars offering treats to take us into the festive period, from the traditional tiny chocolates to fancy tea bags to posh cheeses. A bit of self care and joy at the end of what for many has been another hard year is certainly no bad thing, but perhaps you might like another kind of advent calendar too.
Here you will find a collection of online resources to help you find some some quiet moments in all the chaos. Simply click on the links to find out more.
As of writing, it doesn't seem to have launched yet, but Pray As You promise another Advent retreat, with four audio sessions on the theme of hope.
A Living Hope: Tearfund Advent Calendar
Sign up for stories of hope-filled and life-changing transformation, delivered to your inbox each Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday during Advent.
Calm and Bright: Christmas Reflections
Sign up for daily email reflections from the Church of England, helping you find calm during the busyness of Advent and celebrate the bright joy of Christmas.
Sign up for short reflections and prayers from voices around world, sent weekly to be used alongside lighting an advent wreath. Perfect if this is a tradition you keep at home.
We're also sharing two of our own ideas, a set of daily readings for Advent and an 'Advent of Kindness' based on an idea we've previously used for Lent.
