Welcome to the season of Advent, the time that the Church remembers the promise of Christ who was, and is, and is to come. Advent begins in the dark, and you may be feeling that darkness now more than normal. Here you will find reflections and resources to help you connect to the season of expectation, to God, and to one another.

Advent Devotions

Weekly readings and reflections on Christ’s coming. Contact us if you would like to receive these devotions in your inbox on Mondays and Wednesday.

Advent Connections

These ideas can help you dive into prayer, scripture, and community as we await Christ’s coming.

• Connect to the Anglican tradition of daily prayer by saying morning and evening prayer using the Book of Common Prayer, or an app like Mission St. Clare or Daily Office Express.

• Connect to the Word by committing to a practice of reading scripture for 10 or 15 minutes a day. If you do not have a Bible at home, contact the office and we will happily provide you with one!

• Connect to the wider church by subscribing to an Anglican magazine like The Living Church.

• Connect to St. Luke’s by making time to come pray in the sanctuary.

• Connect to community by learning more about devotional societies, and spend the season prayerfully discerning whether God might be calling you to join with other Christians in a prayer guild.

• Connect to the season by setting up an Advent wreath or building an Advent altar in your home. If you need Advent wreath supplies, please contact us.
