ADVENT DEVOTIONAL

Join us this Advent season reading or listening to day 1 of Draw Near an advent devotional from Presbyterian Outlook by Terri McDowell Ott.

Each day of Advent, this devotional offers a gentle invitation to draw near — to Scripture, to stillness, and to the heart of God. Following the traditional Advent themes, you'll light the way week by week with hope, peace, joy and love, preparing not just for Christmas, but for Christ’s presence among us.

Alongside daily reflections we invite you to the practice of Lectio Divina, a prayer practice of sacred reading with the eyes and ears of the heart. Listening just beneath the surface of things, for depth and meaning. Perhaps a word or phrase captures your attention and you can carry it with you for the day.
