2026 Advent Calendar
Every Christmas pageant needs a full cast—the main characters as well as the nervous shepherds, the overprepared wise men, even the donkey who didn’t ask for any of it.
This Advent, we’re giving each character their moment in the spotlight: one story, one verse, and one small way to live it out, every day from November 29 to Christmas Eve.
You might see a little of yourself in more of the characters than you expect. Maybe you’re the innkeeper on a busy day, or the shepherd who can’t stop talking about good news, or Mary, just trying to sit quietly with something you don’t fully understand yet.
That’s the beauty of the Christmas story — there’s a part for everyone, even YOU! Take your place…the pageant is starting.
