Welcome to Celtic Advent!

You are invited to join us in observing this tradition which blends Celtic spirituality with the Christian season of waiting in mystery and awe for the arrival of the Christ child. Celtic Advent runs from November 15th to December 24th every year. Longer than the more commonly held four-week cycle of Advent preparation, but shorter than the seven-week cycle observed by some, Celtic Advent searches out the holy in ordinary life in acts of kindness and hospitality, in closer connections with Creation, in some fasting as we might do in Lent, and in reflecting on the Celtic saints.

Hope will be our other significant theme: the discipline and deep covenantal choice we make through our faith to find and build hope in the world around us. Our saints will include contemporary figures in our world who have shown a profound commitment to hope for the future of humankind and of the planet.

As usual, the daily offerings will include scripture, poetry, music and reflections.

Ways to access the devotions:

• To receive them by the daily emails, please write to lutheransconnect@gmail.com.
• Devotions will be posted daily on the Lutherans Connect Facebook page.
• Go directly to the Lutherans Connect blog.

Blessings in this holy season of waiting for the light!

See you soon! — Deacon Sherry
