Advent Resources for a Christ-Centered Christmas (2019 Edition)
The holidays are drawing ever closer, and we are so excited to make much of Jesus with you during this special time, friends! To continue our DWITW Advent Resource round-up tradition, today we’re sharing some new finds with you for 2019. You can also check out lists from previous years for even more ideas.
As we’ve said before, we know not everyone celebrates Advent and there is quite a range of Christmas traditions among Christians, so please keep in mind: this post is not meant to be an "Advent To Do" list. It is nearly impossible to use and enjoy all of these resources in a single Advent season. Our goal is to connect you with the resources already out there and put them all in one place for easy access.
Note: All of the resources we shared last year and in years prior (2017 & 2016) are excellent and many are still available, so go check those out too! This post will focus on what's new (or new-to-us) for 2019.
