Submissions Wanted for 2025 Advent Devotional

It’s time to think about how you might contribute to the KBC Advent Devotional Guide. Please consider submitting a devotional, a poem, a prayer, and/or artwork and photographs.

This year the theme is “Longing for God’s Light.” The guide will feature the four weeks of Advent with scriptures that focus on longing for a Messiah and how Jesus fulfills both the Old Testament prophecies and our own desires. The booklet will also include Christmastide and Epiphany, which run from Dec. 26-Jan. 6. These scriptures will focus on the longing for the Messiah’s second coming and the ongoing search for God’s light in a sometimes darkened world.

You can see the reading plan with daily scriptures and sign up to write a devotional here. There is also an instructional guide with specific details about word count, formatting, and tips for writing and artwork. The deadline to sign up is Friday, Sept. 5, and the deadline for submissions is Friday, Oct. 3.
