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.

Fill all your Advent needs for your church or family. You can find candles and banners for your sanctuary as well as church-wide, small group, or family studies. Cokesbury has books for personal devotional time and seasonal bulletins and stationery.
