This booklet is an invitation to the Better Together community to join in daily prayer during the seasons of Advent and Christmas, concluding on the Epiphany.
Each day has a brief excerpt from scripture, a reflection by someone in the community, an offering of art, and an offering of music – it is designed to be done in 5-7 minutes. There is always the option to read more scripture and spend more time in prayer!

A Service of Nine Lessons and Carols began in King’s College, Cambridge, England in 1918 and is now celebrated worldwide. The service features readings from both the Old and New Testaments that in some way foretell the coming of Christ. Readings alternate with beloved hymns, and special Advent works for organ and choir.
Join us December 10th at 9AM for this special service.

Advent is the first season of the church year, beginning with the fourth Sunday before Christmas and continuing through the day before Christmas. The name is derived from a Latin word for “coming.” The season is a time of preparation and expectation for the coming celebration of our Lord's nativity, and for the final coming of Christ.
A symbol of Advent is the Advent wreath, a wreath with four candles. Some churches assign a Christian ideal such as faith, hope and love to each candle, to serve as a reminder of how we are to live our lives as faithful Christians. Each Sunday in Advent a candle is lit until, on the Fourth Sunday, all four candles are lit.
Join us at St. Lawrence on Dec. 3rd to make your own Advent wreath.
