ADVENT BY CANDLELIGHT — NEW LWML DEVOTIONAL
Advent by Candlelight, a new devotional program from LWML, features dramatic readings on the seasons of Mary’s life and centers on the joy and hope we have for all seasons through faith in Jesus, our Savior. Based on 2 Timothy 4:2, participants will celebrate the seasons of life as they prepare for Christmas as well as discuss ways they can share Jesus with others as we wait for His return. This inspirational program ends with a candlelight gathering around the Advent wreath.
Advent by Candlelight is available as a free download at lwml.org/program-helps.
The LWML is the leading group for LCMS women where each woman is welcomed and encouraged to use her unique God-given gifts as she supports global missions and serves the Lord with gladness.
