2022 TLC&S JR Youth & SR Youth - Monday • Second Week of Advent

Isaiah 11:6-7, 10 The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall graze; their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. In that day the root of Jesse, who shall stand as a signal for the peoples—of him shall the nations inquire, and his resting place shall be glorious. Daily Video Advent Devotions for Tweens & Teens Devotional: Prophets and Promises by Augsburg Fortress Led by Laura L. Nelson Dir. Children & Youth Ministries Trinity Lutheran Church & School 830 E Plaza Circle Litchfield Park, AZ 85338 www.TrinityLCS.org In ancient times prophets announced God’s promises of a deliverer to the Hebrew people. As you watch the daily video devotions led by Ms. Laura, look for these ancient promises, even in the Gospel of Matthew. Also watch for the different ways in which Joseph, the magi, and King Herod respond to the arrival of Jesus. Marvel at the power of God’s promises, and the mystery of God with us in a newborn child. Prophets and Promises continues the Christian tradition of setting aside time to prepare for the celebration of Jesus’ birth and to anticipate his return. The Advent season of preparation then unfolds in the joy of the twelve days of Christmas and the day of Epiphany. You will find daily devotions here for the first Monday of Advent (November 27, 2022) through Christmas Day! Each devotion features a scripture reading (many from Matthew), a quote to ponder, a reflection, and a prayer. The video descriptions also offer household blessings and prayers to enrich your preparations and celebrations. May God’s lasting promises give you hope, and the good news of Emmanuel’s birth fill you with wonder and peace! We will be using the devotional Prophets and Promises by Augsburg Fortress
