Starry Nights: An Advent Devotional Full of Light and Wonder
Advent is a season of waiting, watching, and wonder.
Advent arrives as the nights grow long and deep and dark. Dark skies are perfect for stargazing, for seeking out the Light of the World among the deep indigos, bottomless blues, and inky blacks of God’s night sky. This year we are offering an Advent devotional booklet from the SALT project. You may view it online here or pick up a printed copy at St. Andrew Lutheran Church. Please make use of this resource for your personal or family Advent devotions.

Words for the Beginning: Advent Reminders for New Seasons
Advent is a season of endings and beginnings.
As the calendar year comes to a close, a new church year rushes in. Christ’s birth ushers us into new ways of living and loving—and yet, we feel the weight of many things coming to an end. This year we are offering an Advent devotional booklet from A Sanctified Art. You are welcome to pick up a printed copy at St. Andrew Lutheran Church. As we move through new personal and political chapters, may these Words for the Beginning renew us and remind us of the ways we are called to live out our faith.

Adult Education
“If adult education does not become a priority for a congregation, at some point that congregation will cease to exist because its members will simply not know or understand the purpose of the congregation and their role in fulfilling that purpose.” —Neal Boese, Blueprint for Change, page 83.
Children & Youth
Children are not the “future” of the church; they ARE the church. Our Director of Next Generational Ministry, Kyler Vogt, is continuing to connect children, youth, and adult mentors during this time when connection is more important than ever.
No Crib For A Bed
For Christians, the coming of Christmas is an invitation to embrace a child without a home, without a bed. As in nearly all world religions, we are charged with shared responsibility for the vulnerable. We are asked to pay attention, to feed the hungry, care for the poor, visit those in prison, protect all who flee for their lives. Ensconced as we sometimes are in the comforts of our culture, it’s a challenge to pay attention and engage with those who have no bed.
