Advent

The word Advent is derived from the Latin, "adventus" which means coming. Each fall, we encourage our CCC members/families to start or continue the annual practice of celebrating the coming of Christ together in their home.

In order to support this practice, we've collected a list of resources. Many of these are books or reading plans that our own CCC families have actually used. You'll notice our list includes items appropriate for individuals, couples, or families with kids of various ages (preschool to teen)!

Advent can be simple and beautiful, and we encourage you to use one of the reading plans on the below list.

For questions about how to effectively use these resources, please contact the church.
