Advent Devotions & Resources 2024

This is a brief compilation of resources from ELCA partner organizations for your use this Advent!
ELCA World Hunger’s 2024 Advent Study Guide expands on the Advent readings for this year, includes information about ELCA World Hunger at work in the world, and is perfect for individual study or with a group.
ELCA World Hunger Advent Calendar: Celebrate the excitement, anticipation and wonder of the birth of Christ with this Advent calendar. Each day is a reminder of the reason for the season with hymns, prayers, Bible verses and information about how ELCA Good Gifts make a difference in the world.
As the Gospels recount, innkeepers told Mary and Joseph there was no room for them or their expected child. God’s self-revelation through a baby whose mother made room for him in the humblest of accommodation, a manger, invites Christians today to ask ourselves; who does not have room in the empire? How did Jesus make room for all, and how can we do the same?
​This advent season, join ELCA Sumud and ELCA Young Adults to explore and engage with our responsibility to examine power, empire, and occupation in the fourth annual Advent Pilgrimage in Palestine. Resources drop on November 22nd. Keep your eyes on @elcayoungadult and @Sumud social media for more info!

Synod Devotional for Leaders & Councils - 2023

Centered on Christ + Empowered by the Spirit + We Move Outward in Love
​
This monthly devotional resources was created for you by our pastors, conference deans, and assistants to the bishop. ​This devotional was the brainchild of Pastor Scott Bacon who brought Ms. Rebekah Wissler, your Kaufman Resource Center Director, on board. Between the two of them, they have made this devotional happen. It is hoped that this would be of use for Council and other meetings within your congregation.
