Cokesbury is your one stop destination for Advent.

Advent focuses on preparing for the coming of Christ. The term is derived from the Latin word adventus, meaning to come. The season or period of Advent always includes the four Sundays before Christmas Day. (It begins with the Sunday closest to November 30 and ends with Christmas Eve day.) Because December 25 does not always fall on the same day of the week, the number of days in the Advent season varies from year to year.

Cokesbury has Advent supplies for your sanctuary and home.

Make your sanctuary and other spaces beautiful as part of your Advent observation. Cokesbury has paraments, wreaths, and dozens of other items such as candles, and banners to help your decorations reflect the joy you’re celebrating.
