A Gospel-Rich Advent Experience

Countdown to Joy is committed to helping families keep Christ in Christmas by engaging children in the Gospel of the Christmas story through the Advent family devotional, Countdown to Joy. The 24-day devotional may be purchased in print or e-book format from Amazon.com at this link. The illustrations in the devotional can be made into ornaments that children delight to hang every year as they listen to each day's entry. As the devotional is repeated year after year, children learn the good news of why Jesus came into our world, and what his coming can mean for them.

The purpose of this site is to provide free downloads of the ornament patterns in a variety of formats including our personal favorite, shrink art. These ornaments will be added and updated regularly. Keep checking back for more additions and tips for making ornaments.
