Online Advent Meditations

Advent
By: 
Kitty Kawecki, Director of Resources & Training

Once again the Episcopal Diocese of Newark will offer daily meditations during the season of Advent, which this year begins Sunday, November 30.

Each day you will receive a scripture reading, a reflection on that reading and a short prayer (except on Sundays when you will receive the Gospel lesson and a prayer).

The word "Advent" means "coming," yet Advent is often a challenge as we are bombarded by sales, parties and a myriad of other distractions. Please consider taking time to slow down, wait, pray and reflect on the hope and possibilities that Jesus offers us. We hope that these daily emails will help you to prepare your hearts and minds for the coming of Jesus.
