About

AdventWord is an inspirational online Advent calendar. Our community helps deepen our understanding of the coming of Jesus into the world through the practices of shared meditation and prayer. Come pray with us! There are many ways to participate in AdventWord! And all of them are correct!
  • Read and pray over the daily emailed meditation during Advent
  • Connect and discuss the day’s word with other disciples on our social media pages
  • Share your own personal meditation to inspire others—whether visual or written. Haikus and poems, paintings, photographs, personal reflections, and more are all encouraged.
AdventWord is an offering of Forward Movement, a ministry of the Episcopal Church. Learn more about our ministry at forwardmovement.org.

How It Works

We choose a single word from the Sunday Lectionary readings for each day of the season of Advent. Shared in English and Spanish, we provide a daily meditation and visual image inspired by this word and invite your personal reflections via social media. The daily meditations are posted on AdventWord.org, emailed to participants, and shared on our Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter accounts.

Around the world, prayers ascend in response to the daily meditations. People share their own reflections and visual art on their social media profiles, tagging #AdventWord to share with the wider community.

Sign up to receive the daily email meditation during Advent, and be sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
