Advent 2009

enlarge>>

"Come, thou long expected Jesus..."

We hope you will take some time in the sometimes hectic days leading up to Christmas to still your heart and mind and reflect on the deep love of God for all his children. Please use the devotionals, written by clergy and laity of the Kentucky Conference, to help you focus on the coming of the Christ Child and the hope he brings in this Advent season.

To read the devotionals, click on the star that corresponds with today’s date. (You can download the calendar here.) There are also links from this page to other Advent resources.

May the Light of the World shine bright in your life this holiday season.
