Advent in the Home

Advent is a season of hope and renewal, a time to prepare with joy for the birth of Jesus and his message of peace. St. Paul’s has three resources for use in your family or personal devotional time:

  • Advent 2019: Worship in the Home is a booklet containing five weekly reflections written by families at St. Paul’s. Each week's reading includes a Scripture passage, a meditation, a prayer, and a hymn. It may be used in conjunction with the lighting of the candles on your home Advent wreath. A *pdf version of Worship in the Home is available for download here.
  • Advent: A Calendar of Devotions 2019, published by Abingdon Press, contains readings for each day of Advent, including a passage of Scripture, a devotion, and a prayer.


Booklets, as well as instructions for making an Advent wreath, will be available in the Narthex. We hope these resources will be helpful to you in celebrating this glorious season at home.
