Prepare Together: A Free Advent Devotional for Your Church

The weeks leading up to Christmas are often the busiest of the year for church leaders. Between extra services, community events, and family gatherings, it can be hard to keep the focus on what really matters: helping people prepare their hearts for Jesus.

That’s why Logos, Lexham Press, and Text In Church partnered to create a free, ready-to-use Advent devotional called Anticipating His Arrival: A Family Guide Through Advent. It’s designed to help churches of every size guide their people through the story of Jesus’ coming with ease, consistency, and connection.

What Is the Advent Devotional?

Anticipating His Arrival follows the Revised Common Lectionary readings for Year C, walking through the four traditional themes of Advent:

• Week 1: Preparation
• Week 2: Anticipation
• Week 3: Joy
• Week 4: Incarnation

Each day includes Scripture readings, reflection questions, and short responses to help families or small groups discuss the meaning of the season. Whether used individually, in homes, or throughout your congregation, it provides a simple rhythm to stay rooted in God’s Word during the holidays.
