Advent Worship Resources

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.

This year’s resources are based on the theme “We Preach Christ Crucified,” drawn from the 2023 LCMS convention.

This year's resources focus on the life and ministry of St. John the Baptist, the one appointed by God to prepare the way for the promised Messiah by calling sinners to repentance, even to the point of martyrdom.

This year's resources are based on the hymn “Once He Came in Blessing” and our Lord’s three advents: once in the flesh, continually in His Word and Sacraments, and at the end of the world for judgment and resurrection — all for us!

LCMS Worship offers suggestions for Advent Midweek services based on the 2021 theme of “Behold.”
