Advent Devotions
Advent Calendars. Do you have fond childhood memories of preparing for Christ’s coming with various types of Advent calendars? Most Advent Calendars feature 25 numbered doors/windows, a new one to be opened daily through the month of December. Usually, the calendars my family used featured a Scripture verse of hope or maybe a picture of the season. Over the years, some calendars offered different sweets! Aldi sells Advent Calendar beverage boxes, one featuring a daily wine and the other a daily beer!
While sweets and tasty drinks are fun, what’s really needed by people as we enter the darker days of winter—especially after this pandemic stretch—is HOPE. Hope that our Savior is coming afresh! So, I’m so pleased that once again so many of our talented COS family contributed to our 2023 Advent Calendar/Devotions! In December, each daily email, Monday-Friday, features a theme:
- Music Monday
- Tradition Tuesday
- Word from Wiese Wednesday
- Tradition Thursday
- Fun Friday (A different kind of surprise every Friday)
Thanks to Barbara Anderson, our Director of Connecting Ministries, for organizing this for us. May each “daily window” of this Advent calendar be blessed by the Holy Spirit to bring you warming rays of the Light coming to shine in our darkness, our HOPE! Enjoy.
