Download the 2020 Advent Devotions Booklet.
Advent is our time of preparation for the annual coming of Jesus into the world as a baby boy. These daily offerings have been written from the heart of those here at St. Barnabas. As you read each day you may want to light your Advent wreath or a candle. After you read the scripture passage and devotional reading, you will want to pause and reflect on what you have just read. Is there meaning here for your personal journey through life?
