Welcome to Salem's 2023 Advent Devotional Guide, which is an accompaniment to our sermon series, A Very Classic Christmas. Our hope is that you will use this guide during the week throughout the Advent season as part of your personal daily devotional time or in a group setting with your family, small group, discipleship group or friend group. If you do this with a group, feel free to take turns or assign a leader to pray, read Scripture, and/or facilitate the discussion time. We pray that you will enjoy this time with the Lord and each other as we prepare our hearts to experience the true joy of Christmas in celebrating Emmanuel, God with us!
