Come see the trees! Can you smell Christmas? Part of what gives the season meaning and power are the memories and traditions that we have burned into our memories from childhood. Smells are a big part of that! Like the smell of a freshly cut evergreen.
Come and see the mountain! Now you might be thinking – this is all happening too fast! This morning did you open up your bulletin and think, is it Advent already? It isn’t even December yet!
At last night’s Christmas Eve Candlelight Service we closed out our Advent series, Christmas in Real Life focusing on Love. We pray that your time beside the manger of our Lord will bring you peace, love and joy from our Savior.
What do you believe in? Reindeer and Santa? What about Frosty and the Grinch? For all the stories and fairy tales of this commercialized season, is there any room left for Jesus? Jesus is the object of your real faith.
Can you feel the Christmas spirit? It’s the most wonderful time of the year. There will be parties for hosting and marshmallows for toasting, but do you feel it? Then why is COVID still here? The economy struggling? Families ripping apart? Learn to choose JOY even during dark times.
From scented candles to quiet music, Christmas brings peace. But does it last? Learn how to ensure you spread REAL peace this year. That’s Christmas in Real Life.
