 Back by popular demand are Lutheran Hour Ministries’ Advent Devotions, available online at www.adventdevotions.net. This year, two versions of the devotions allow your church or school to print devotions written specifically for churched people and another set for seekers or non-believers. Each set of devotions is customizable, so your church can add contact information, worship times, and a special event schedule to the inside cover.
Radical Advent takes the believer through stories and Scripture with the Lord and Savior whom they have come to know and love and guides them to a rich personal time with the King! Written in a style more traditional and, perhaps, more familiar to Christians, these texts illuminate the timeless story of God’s radical gift to the world as given in the birth of His Son.
Revolutionary Christmas is a series of challenging messages taking those who don’t yet know the Savior on a journey to navigate through the holiday clutter to the essence of Christmas. Through pointed questions and contemporary language, these meditations guide the reader to God’s love as revealed in Bethlehem and Jesus’ sacrifice as fulfilled on the cross.
Use the devotions to reconnect with members you haven’t seen in a while or to reach out to non-members in your community or parents of your students who do not attend church. You can also print Radical Advent in Spanish to reach out to Spanish-speaking neighbors in your area.
Getting Started
Go to www.adventdevotions.net, and click “printable files for your church.” Enter your name and e-mail address (this information is needed to remind you via e-mail when LHM’s 2008 Lenten Devotions are available), and fill out a short survey. Your survey answers will help LHM market the devotions during future holiday seasons and give an idea of how many devotions are being printed. The devotions Web site will walk you through printing and customizing each type of devotion book.
Specs and Such
Radical Advent devotion books are available in three different printable formats in both English and Spanish. The weekly booklet and the regular full booklet are 5.5 by 8.5 inches. The large-print full booklet version is 8.5 by 11 inches.
Revolutionary Christmas is available in regular 5.5 by 8.5 inch booklet format and also in large print. This version for seekers is great for handing out at Christmas parties and in your neighborhood.
You can also listen to an audio version of Radical Advent or sign up to receive the devotion via e-mail each day. Just use the links toward the bottom of LHM’s Advent Devotions Web site. Other enhancements to LHM’s Advent resources this year include links to an Advent site entirely in Spanish, outreach ideas, and promotional materials for your church or school. Click “promo materials for your church” to access Advent-themed bulletin inserts, Web banners, bulletin shells, and much more.
It’s not too early to start planning how your church or school can benefit from this year’s Advent Devotions!
