Advent Devotion Booklets

We pray that you and your family will be blessed through the reading of God’s word, some meditational thoughts about the coming King, and a prayer for you each day during Advent. These daily devotions are emailed each day and hard copies are available in the church lobby. To be added to our email list, please send your name and email address to contact@oursaviorlansing.org.
