THE Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, will tweet daily messages as an online advent calendar.

Dr Sentamu will post daily tweets from @JohnSentamu about how people can prepare for Christmas with Gospel readings for the day available from his website.

He said: “I love Advent – it’s a wonderful season of watching and waiting for signs of God’s justice.

“Every day from Advent Sunday until Christmas Eve, I will be tweeting in the morning and the evening beseeching you to join me in listening to Jesus’ invitation to follow him. There will also be a Gospel Reading of the day if you want to join me in reflecting on it.” Christmas is coming – come and journey through Advent with me.”

Gospel Readings of the Day are available at archbishopofyork.org from December 1.
