Come and See: Devotions for Advent

Long ago in Bethlehem, the birth of Christ was announced by an angel to shepherds who watched over flocks at night. Hearing this message, they went to see for themselves and were among the first people to see the newborn Jesus – God in the flesh.

In this Advent season, we invite you to reflect on the experience of the shepherds and to see ways that we are called to respond like them. Join us for weekly devotions on this theme as we prepare, once again, to celebrate with joy the birth of our Savior. Come and see!

We also invite you to tune into our new PBS special: “Come and See: A Concordia Christmas” airing on PBS SoCal, or on one of the other Concordia Christmas specials on PBS stations nationwide.

God guide and bless you in this Advent season and always.
