Greetings from Prayer Bench,
Signs pointing to Advent are around us. There are many resources out there to support a good Advent. I prepared an Advent calendar this year and I am happy to offer it to you. Perhaps it will help mark your Advent days.
We’ll be “Keeping Good Company” with the prophets, the mystics, the poets, the songwriters, the psalmists, the artists and musicians.
I was curious about the history of an Advent calendar so you will find a post on Prayer Bench sharing what I found. Read the blog post: Keeping Good Company.
Here are other Advent offerings:
