Description
Are you looking for theologically sound, inspiring and affordable Advent devotions for your congregation?
The Presbyterian Outlook is once again offering accessible and inspiring daily devotions for Advent. Poetry and prose reflections, curated and written by editor Teri McDowell Ott alongside contributing editors Kathryn Lester-Bacon and Arlin Buyert will help readers attend to this sacred season of waiting.
About these devotions:
The weeks leading up to Christmas can be hectic and full. The opportunity to pause and attend to Advent can get lost amid preparations for the big holiday, vacation plans or end-of-year work. This daily devotional, which includes submissions from poets you have read in the pages of the Outlook, invites readers to pause and reflect on narratives in the Christmas story. Each week, the devotions address a different theme: Week 1: Mary; Week 2: Joseph; Week 3: Herod; Week 4: the Christ child; Christmas Eve: Emmanuel. Daily readings will take us deeper into the scriptural story of the birth of Christ and explore contemporary subjects like parenting, power, war and violence, vulnerability, innocence and the many ways God’s incarnation can be experienced.
