Welcome!
Welcome to our Advent Devotional for First United Methodist Church of West Plains!
Brian suggested that this should be put in Blog format so that we could retain a history of the devotions, and people could sign up to get a daily email containing the devotions. (Of course that meant that he also volunteered to build and administer the blog.)
This is our first attempt at a project like this, but our hope is that this will become an Advent tradition for years to come.
We are glad that you are here! Whether you are a member of First United Methodist Church of West Plains, and heard about this during the announcements on Sunday, or whether you are a guest joining us for the first time! We hope you enjoy the prayerful thoughts and memories of Advent and Christmas as shared by our church members.

If you would like to receive a daily email of our devotions, please sign-up at the right. You will receive an email from follow.it asking you to verify that you want to get this feed. Once you confirm that, you will receive an email whenever a new devotion is posted.
Feel free to comment on any of the devotionals! The comment box is at the end of the devotional page. Feel free to share your own thoughts about the scriptures or memories of Advent that you cherish.
Advent begins on Sunday, November 27, and runs through Saturday, December 24. You are all invited to join us for our Christmas Eve Services at 5:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. on December 24th. Make sure you scroll to the bottom of the blog to see our countdown to our Christmas Day service. You are all welcome to join us for a Carol Sing during our Christmas Day service either in our sanctuary, oe online!

Finally, thank you to Bambi for organizing this, and reminding people to get their devotions submitted. Thanks also to Pastor Andy, for it is through his leadership that we have so many involved and active people in our church.
Our prayer is that during this season of Advent, each of you will find new hope, new insights or new joy as we anticipate the coming (or coming again) of our wonderful Savior.

The instructions say ‘If you would like to receive a daily email of our devotions, please sign-up at the right.’ But there isn’t an option on the right.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment. In the upper right hand corner of the page (just to the right of the steeple picture) is a red box that says "Get new posts by email." Put your email address in the box. You will receive a confirmation email from follow.it. Just follow the directions there, and you will receive emails when a new post is published. Let me know if you have any problems or questions.
