Advent in the Community 2026

Advent 2026 · Let There Be Light

Let there be light
in the quiet of your mornings.

November 29 – January 3

Thirty-six mornings. One candle, one reading, one quiet place to sit. We read through Advent together, inside a private community of women returning to the same Word.

Before the season fills up

December has a way of filling every quiet space before you notice it's gone.

The calendar gets full. The lists get long. And somewhere around the second week, you look up and realize you haven't sat still in days.

Advent was never meant to be one more thing to get through. It's a waiting. A returning. A light in the dark.

Starting November 29, we read the Advent 2026 Women's Reading Guide together. One day at a time, twenty minutes, one candle. Not perfect. Just present.

Meet the leaders

Sarah Polite

Creator of The Polite House

The Polite House is the home of the 20-Minute Mindful Candles. Last October we started the Bible Reading Community, pairing the candles with a place to gather around Bible reading. It has been a real source of joy, and I'm so excited to walk through Advent together.

Hannah Tellez

Community Leader

Hannah has been in the community from the beginning. She brings insight that helps us go deeper in the Word and with one another.

We can't wait to see you inside.
