advent devotional
Our Family Ministry and Wesley Prep School have worked together to create this Daily Advent Devotional Guide to help you come and see what God has done by focusing on the hope, peace, joy, and love we find in our Savior. Through scripture readings, prayers, poems and reflections, these devotional encourage deeper connection with God and meaningful anticipation of Christ’s coming. In the midst of holiday busyness, we pray these devotional will help you find intentional moments of worship and reflection this Christmas season!

SERVE WITH US
Service is at the heart of Lovers Lane's DNA. This Christmas season we have two opportunities for you to serve together.
Donate Coats
We are collecting kids and adults coats to distribute through local ministries in the area. The adults appreciate larger sized coats. Place your new or gently used coats in the blue bins around the campus or use the button below to order coats from Amazon and have them delivered to the church. We will deliver the coats to homeless ministries in the Dallas area.
Adopt an Angel
This year, we are partnering with The Bethlehem Center to help make Christmas in the South Dallas/Fair Park the best ever! You can help by adopting an Angel from the Angel Tree near The Spire and fulfilling the Christmas wish written on the Angel. Then bring your gifts to the church to have them delivered to The Bethlehem Center.
Christmas Love Offering
Your Christmas Love Offering supports the many ministries Lovers Lane help each year. Please consider giving an above-and-beyond gift to our Christmas Love Offering this year.
