If you have purchased a car in Oregon this past summer or fall, and have yet to register it with the State of Oregon DMV, please do so before Dec. 31, as registration and title fees are rising on Jan. 1!

If it has already been 30 days since you’ve purchased a vehicle and you have yet to register it, the DMV adds a $25 late fee. If it has been more than 60 days since you purchased the vehicle and you haven’t registered it, the late fee is $50 plus the registration fee and title fee. So, save yourself some money and get your cars registered within 29 days after purchase, and take care of it before year’s end.

Barclay Press and College of Christian Studies faculty Anderson Campbell and Steve Sherwood are offering free Advent readings to aid in your waiting and worship this season. Readings are excerpted from Praying for Justice (Barclay Press, 2017), a four-year lectionary of verses that address God’s call for us to turn our attention always to the poor, the oppressed and the marginalized. It is an invitation to entreat God daily to address the pain and brokenness that is all around us. But it is also an invitation to hope.

As we move toward Christmas this year, we hope these Advent selections will help you navigate the darkness as we wait for the Light. If you find this resource useful, please pass it along to others. It is our gift to you and is meant to be shared. You might also consider purchasing the full Praying for Justice lectionary through Barclay Press or wherever books are sold. It contains more than 200 weeks of daily readings from more than 1,400 biblical passages about justice.

The free Advent readings are available for download at this link.
