Anchor Lincoln Advent Calendar 2025

Bright lights bloom in the frost and the dark
Warm, holy music melts back the winter silence
We remember
We look ahead

The long nights of the year, like the dark nights of the soul
Death draped across the world, buried in a shroud of snow
But we remember
We look ahead

Long ago, God ignited a passage from the expanse above
Bringing divine life to our crooked globe of mud and grass
We remember
We look ahead

Soon, the skies will flash with His glory again
Angel voices will resound and our Lord will return
We look ahead
And we remember

For now, in the deep valley of time between holy peaks
We pray, we sing, we worship with hearts full of light
Celebrating an echo of what was and a glimpse of what will be
The summer of his life on earth and the spring of his second coming

In Christmas, we find the light of the Son

This past year has been marked by tremendous change for our church. Yet through it all, God has been faithful and the sense of community has only deepened. New relationships have formed and the congregation has continued to grow.

So it’s a fitting way to round out the year by hearing from many of the voices that make up the Advent Lincoln family. Each day for the season of Advent we will be posting the creativity and insights of different individuals or families as they reflect on the meaning of Christmas. One day might be a devotional or poem, while another might be a recipe or Christmas memory. Be sure to subscribe or check back daily to enjoy and be blessed by the amazing gifts God has given to members of our community.

Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel has come to Thee, O Israel!
