 Advent Devotional. Welcome to the journey of Advent, a season in which we prepare our hearts and minds for the coming of Christ. As we begin this season of preparation that draws us toward the manger in Bethlehem and the arrival of the Christ child, we offer you this Advent devotional.
The stories in the devotional come from members of Woodside United Methodist Church who have offered to share their experiences of encountering the holy presence of God in strange and unfamiliar places.
