Advent Devotions
This Advent we invite you, through our daily email devotions, to read stories of love enacted, to hear what Scripture says about doing justice with love—to let love orient your Christmas season.
Join us in prayer and reflection each day through these convenient emails that include a meditation, suggested prayer, and a note with some details about how the Christian Reformed Church is working to bring God's great love to a world in need. Together, we'll look more closely into God's call to love each other and "the other." We'll see more clearly what love is… We pray that each day you will be filled with love as you prepare your heart to celebrate Jesus' birth this Christmas! Note - if you've received our devotions in the past, you are already subscribed. Enjoy!
