The NALC presents, Come!, an Advent devotional booklet for 2021 written by the NALC executive staff. This year's devotional is based on the two-year daily lectionary provided in the North American Church's Devoted to Prayer daily prayer and reading guide, which is also an adapted version of the daily lectionary in the Lutheran Book of Worship, Year II.
Join us February 15-17, 2022 in Orlando, Florida, for our annual Pastors’ Conference. "Always be Ready; Apologetics in Real Life" (based on 1 Peter 3:15), is the theme this year. Other conference highlights: appointments with NALC staff, meeting of the NALC Ministerium, Holy Communion service with the renewal of ordination vows and blessing of oil, dedicated time of networking and encouragement with fellow pastors.
We have launched our new two-year daily prayer and reading calendar, Devoted to Prayer. After a challenging year in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been provided with a unique opportunity to revitalize the ancient practice of daily prayer and Scripture reading in our homes. While the Reading the Word of God three-year lectionary provided a much-needed and refreshing calendar for our congregations to engage in Scripture reading, this calendar includes a missing component of daily devotion: prayer.
Congregation ratification materials are now available! The amendments to Article 11 voted on by the 2021 NALC Mission Convocation must be ratified by two-thirds of NALC congregations voting.
