John 1:9

This Advent, let’s journey together and illuminate the path to Christmas through daily, prayerful emails direct to your inbox. From Sunday 30 November right through to Christmas Eve, you’ll receive a mix of inspiring reflections, creative prayer ideas and family-friendly activities. You’ll also find stories of transformation and prayer requests from our staff and partners around the world, helping us all to pause and prepare for the birth of Jesus.

Lighting the Advent candles

Each week, we’ll light a new Advent candle and explore the themes of hope, peace, joy and love: asking Jesus, the true Light of the World, to increase his brightness in our lives and our world.

Your faithful prayers this Advent help shine the light of God’s love across the world.

Let’s turn up the brightness on hope this Advent through reflections and prayers daily to your inbox.
