What is an Advent Festival?
An Advent Festival is a time when folks gather to prepare themselves for the upcoming season to celebrate the coming of Jesus Christ. It involves hanging of the greens, singing carols and worshipping, reading scripture, making Chrismons and Advent Wreaths, eating treats from around the world (like at the European Christmas Markets), supporting students by purchasing hand-made items for gifts, drinking hot chocolate and mulled cider, and enjoying time of fellowship.

What all is Happening?
- The evening will be broken down into different times for the special events, while the market, snacks, Chrismon and Advent Wreath making are available throughout.
- All items are free, except the Christmas Market with the student hand-made shops (those are all individually priced per market).
- Receive your Free Copy of the Advent/Christmas Devotional - written by students and alumni - "This Christmas Let's Find Community Together."
How can I be Involved?
- Would you like to be a part of the Student Christmas Market? Just email Juston (juston@appwesley.org) your information which includes your "store name" and what you will be selling.
- Would you like to help lead and direct a portion of the worship? We need scripture readers and candle lighters!
- Would you like to lead a specific area of the festival? We need "area managers" to help guide folks in how to make ornaments, Chrismons, and the Advent Wreaths. We also need folks to direct people to the different areas within the building, as well as folks to be the food vendors (food is free!).
