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.

The Office for Spiritual Life has become aware of a need in the Newberg School District with regard to the upcoming holiday break. Forty-eight percent of students in the Newberg School District participate in the free lunch program, and 168 of the students experience homelessness.

Over the winter break, these children and families will have difficulty getting the meals that they need. The spiritual life office is collecting monetary donations and gift cards to local grocery stores and restaurants to aid our neighbors during the Christmas holiday. Please direct gift cards and/or donations to the Office for Spiritual Life before Dec. 15. Thank you!
