LCMS Worship – Suggestions for midweek Advent services – 2024

LCMS Worship provides suggestions for liturgy, psalms, readings, hymns, and preaching to use during 2024 midweek Advent services.

This year’s services focus on the theme “Rejoice: The Lord Is at Hand” based on Philippians 4:4–5, which is a portion of the Epistle for Advent IV. Preachers may wish to incorporate some thoughts from this pericope into the sermon for Advent IV on Dec. 22, utilizing the chance to summarize the content of the midweek services and to prepare the flock to receive Christ as He comes to them at Christmastide.

Propers have been selected for use with Evening Prayer or Vespers, and the suggested hymns are from Lutheran Service Book.
