If you're looking for an online Advent devotional, check out Advent Photo-A-Day. It's written mostly by pastors in our Central/Southern Illinois Synod of the ELCA. Pastor Lynette has contributed in the past.

The women of Good Shepherd and other local WELCA members had an amazing brunch this morning at the new St. Andrew’s student center at the University of Illinois! We were the first group to use the space which just opened a few days ago! We had a tour of the incredible space and sang Christmas carols in the new sanctuary! It was a beautiful morning! #champaignurbana #savoyillinois #elca
