With Advent right around the corner, we wanted to let you know that the 2025 Ohio Episcopal Area Family Advent Resources are ready and live on the West Ohio Conference website. These resources are designed to be intergenerational and help foster faith-filled conversations and Spirit-lead actions throughout the season. This means there are no age limits on who can utilize them!

The 2025 Family Advent Resources includes: a printable pdf Advent calendar, a printable pdf daily family devotional, and downloadable social media graphics that correlate with the daily devotional. All resources are available in both English and Spanish and were developed utilizing the lectionary resources from Discipleship Ministries of the United Methodist Church.

As you journey towards Christmas this year, may you remember that you are not alone in the waiting and that we often experience God’s love through our relationships with others. If you have questions about these resources, contact Rev. Ann Marie Carley, Director of Engagement with Children, Youth, and Young Adults for the Ohio Episcopal Area (amcarley@wocumc.org)
