Welcome to the spiritual journey of Advent. During this season of deep reflection, we prepare to celebrate Christmas, the coming of the Christ Child.
This year, we meditate on each of the four chapters reflected in the Advent Candles:
Week 1: Hope
Week 2: Peace
Week 3: Joy
Week 4: Love
We hope these writings will provide a framework for your own Advent ponderings. The writers are a diverse group of people, though all are from this congregation.

Lent can be a deeply personal time for renewal and reflection. In the early church, it was the time when new converts prepared for baptism by prayer, study and fasting.
This collection of writings is offered to you for your own Lenten meditations. It is the work of our members, sharing their faith and their stories. There is one devotional for each day of Lent, starting on Ash Wednesday, February 14.
Our Lenten theme this year is “Deeper Roots, Wide-spreading Branches. May Spring come to us, be in us, and recreate new life in us!”
Please join us in these readings and all our Lenten opportunities for online worship, service, prayer and observance. The full calendar of the season is available on our website, www.santamonicaumc.org/lent. Information is also available by calling the church office at (310)393-8258.
May these reflections draw your roots deeper and free you to flourish.
