Light shines on a path with text next to it that reads “Prepare the Way. Advent 2025”

Prepare the way this Advent

Advent is four week period of anticipation and preparation in the lead up to Christmas day, when we celebrate the coming of God’s presence in the birth of Jesus Christ.

Join with us this advent, as we reflect on what it means to ‘prepare the way’ through a series of weekly devotions and prayers.

Reflect with us

Reflect on how Isaiah 40’s call to ‘Prepare the Way’ invites us to remove barriers and create a community where everyone can experience God’s presence.

Pray with us

Dear Lord God,

Please help us to prepare this advent season, as we celebrate the coming of your presence in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Thank you that you are community, that you are love, and that you want to come and dwell with us.

May we welcome and love people who are marginalised and on the edges of community.

Help us to recognise barriers that prevent people with disabilities from being fully integrated into our communities and help us to remove them.

We thank you so much for your coming, amen.

We’d like to pray with you through and beyond Advent.
