If you would like to receive an Advent devotional booklet from the Office of Religious & Spiritual Life for the Advent and Christmas season, please fill out the following form.

This year's theme is "Words for Waiting." The editor of this year's devotional writes, "These days we have access to a never-ending stream of news, notifications, and reminders of the brokenness of our world. It can be tempting to tune out – to shut down, disengage – from pure exhaustion or for the sake of self-preservation. Honoring those true experiences, and still hoping for a more life-giving way forward, what are the voices that should have our attention? How can we sift through the noise to figure out and focus on what’s really important? Where might we find the energy to continue doing the work that needs to be done? The reflections and prayers on these pages offer the chance to dig into those questions and more. This year’s contributors represent 38 faith communities in 21 different states, including 25 college ministries serving students on 32 campuses. As we all seek to wake up our hearts and minds to the meaning of this season, may you find inspiration in the words and images on these pages, and in these days to come."

If you would like to receive a copy of this devotional, please fill out this form before noon on Monday, November 27th.
