WHAT IS ADVENT?

Advent means "arrival" and signifies the start of an event or the arrival of a person. In Christian communities worldwide, Advent refers to a four-week season before Christmas. It's a time to reflect on Jesus' humble birth and the anticipation of when he will come again to reunite Heaven and Earth once and for all.

 

At Rooftop, we want to provide you and your family with tools to celebrate Advent this season. Follow along this devotional as we see Jesus through the eyes of the Christmas story characters.

 

You can do that in several ways:

1) Sign up to receive daily emails with the devotion. 

2) Check out the devotions daily as posts on our Facebook page.

3) Follow along on this website by clicking the link each day.

 

You can also download a PDF of ornament templates that you can cut out, color and add to your own Advent Tree at home.
