Thanksgiving, Advent, & Christmas Services
Our Dear Christ Enters In - A Special Series for Advent
In any given year approximately 131 million Americans travel home to visit family and friends. For many, going home means get-togethers, extra food and cookies, and gift exchanges. Unfortunately, many times in the hustle and bustle of home life, the spiritual blessings of Advent and Christmas get buried in all the trappings of the season. What if our goal this year was to simply let our dear Christ enter into our homes and into our lives? How does his entry into the world speak into and even change our approach to this season? In this special series for Advent and Christmas, we look at what happens when Christ enters in and makes our hearts his home.
