APA Advent Devotional

The Deanery of Appalachia has completed a wonderful 2024 Advent Devotional.

From the Prologue: “Meditations in this devotional have been contributed by clergy, deaconesses and others who work diligently for the Kingdom of God in the Anglican Province of America. Their works follow the passages appointed in the 1928 Book of Common Prayer lectionary for Morning and Evening Offices and are meant to enhance your rule of life for the next weeks. As this devotional is presented by the Appalachian Deanery, let me express our hope that the season of Advent will prove to be a time of honest and meaningful preparation for the Feast of the Incarnation. I pray that when we all finally sing ‘the Lord is come,’ that it will be a feast of true joy and peace to each one of you, and in the grandest way ‘joy to the world’ indeed." -Fr. Paul Rivard, Dean of Appalachia, Rector of Saint George the Martyr, Simpsonville, SC
