Advent Devotional
The Advent Season is upon us! And with that, it is time for our Advent Devotional that will lead us through the season.
This year's devotional was created by Unbound*, a ministry of our denomination, the PCUSA. It's entitled, "Boundless: An Anti-Colonial Advent Devotional". There are prayers for each day, as well as longer devotionals at the beginning and midpoint of each week. The contributors to this collection are wonderful writers, pastors, and scholars. I encourage you to read, pray, and think on their words during this season.
