Looking for a boost to focus your thoughts and anticipation during the Advent season?
Eastern Mennonite University is providing a daily meditation on the meaning of Advent on its web site at www.emu.edu/devotions.
The brief devotional articles have been prepared by EMU and Eastern Mennonite Seminary faculty, staff, students and alumni. They began Monday, Nov. 30 with a reflection by Dorothy Jean Weaver, professor of New Testament at Eastern Mennonite Seminary, and will continue through Christmas Day.
The series is based on these scripture passages:
* Week One – Luke 1:26-28
* Week Two – Matthew 1:18-25
* Week Three – Luke 1:39-56
* Week Four – Luke 2:1-19
“Advent marks the beginning of the liturgical year in the Christian tradition, a beginning focused on the coming of Jesus into our world that calls for thoughtful preparation for this coming and for the second coming of Jesus,” said Brian Martin Burkholder, EMU campus pastor. “In these weeks leading up to Christmas day, we invite everyone into this season of thoughtful and spiritual preparation by using the Advent reflections provided from the EMU and EMS campus community.”
“Readers are invited this year to share their own personal reflections at the end of each day’s entry as well, building a sense of community among followers of Christ all over the world,” Martin Burkholder added.
