Greetings from Martin Luther College!

Glory in His Grasp is our newest devotion book for you! These 25 Advent devotions are available to your congregation members as a free printed booklet.

As we gather around the manger this year, we’ll meditate on that ancient hymn Paul writes in Philippians 2:6-11. We’ll contemplate how Christ “emptied himself . . . being born in the likeness of men.” We’ll stand in awe at how the Son of God, co-equal with the Father, chose for a time not to cling to the full and constant use of his glory and power, for “He did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped.” And we’ll rejoice in the Second Advent, when our Lord in all his glory will come once again. 

You will be able to access MLC devotions in multiple ways:

• Read them online as a flipbook. (This is not printable.)
• Request that we send them as daily emails to your personal email December 1-25. 
• Preorder free printed booklets for your congregation here. (Preorders are for congregations only. No personal preorders, please.)

Some notes specifically for congregational preorders:

• How many copies? Please check with your pastor and other organizations in your congregation before you place your order. Only one order per congregation will be accepted.
• When is the deadline? October 8. No congregational orders will be filled after the deadline.

Did you notice the word free? Admittedly, this project is expensive for MLC, so last year we asked for a small payment. But it was complicated — for everyone — so this year we're excited to give them to you free of charge once again.

If you have any questions, please contact Allison Bovee at the MLC Mission Advancement Office (boveeae@mlc-wels.edu) or 507.354.8221 ext. 220.

Thank you and God’s blessings!
