What's The Advent Event? It is a time to plan for Christmas. Advent is the church season before Christmas. Advent is meant to be a time where Christians prepare for Christmas.

 We will make Advent calendars out of felt. You will be able to reuse them each year. Each day, one of the calendar flaps reveals an act of preparation for Jesus' coming for the family.
