The Christmas season is a time of preparation. We have gifts to buy, cookies to bake, the house to decorate, friends to visit and presents to wrap. In the midst of all this busy preparation it is easy to forget the most important preparation of all, preparing for the birth of our Lord.

We hope these memories, stories, thoughts and prayers will help all of us to prepare for the amazing miracle of Jesus’ birth. For each day of Advent one of our LCC families has written a short devotional that focuses on the significance of this Advent season. These devotions can be read together as a family during a mealtime, or on your own as you sip your coffee on the train.

A special thank you to everyone who has contributed, and we pray God’s blessing on you as you reflect on Christ’s coming this season. Come back to the site every day during Advent! You can also subscribe to an RSS feed by clicking the orange RSS symbol at the upper right of this page.
