Advent Devotional Links and Resources

Throughout the season of Advent we will be posting a variety of Advent devotional material on our Facebook page, some submitted by our elders and churches, some designed by presbytery staff. Please share and spread the word (offering appropriate attribution as appropriate).

Dream Catchers Week 2

Palms Presbyterian Church shared this weekly devotional that combines the tradition of the Advent Wreath and the Native American tradition of the Dream Catcher (which we adapted for general use). If you haven’t already done so, we invite you to gather five candles (three blue, one pink, and one white), a white underlay, a ring, some green yarn, and feathers (real or cut out of paper). This week we add the second feather of Revelation. This week we light the candles for the Dreams of Restoration and we catch a new dream- the Dream of Revelation..

Read more (including instructions for making the dream catcher and weekly devotions) by downloading this booklet or text only document.

Second Sunday of Advent

In Time of Advent

Rev. Charles Freeman of Grace Presbyterian Church shares a timely Advent hymn which grew from reflecting on what Advent might mean in this time, winding into a plea for that same Lord to “guide our steps and actions.” Watch the video here. The words and tune can be found here.

*Your completed Dreamcatcher might look something like this.*

Palms Presbyterian Church shared this weekly devotional that combines the tradition of the Advent Wreath and the Native American tradition of the Dream Catcher (which we adapted for general use). We invite you to gather five candles (three blue, one pink, and one white), a white underlay, a ring, some green yarn, and feathers (real or cut out of paper). We will share weekly sections of the devotional every Monday in Advent and then again on Christmas Eve.
