From Series: "Slow Christmas"
Too often we experience the holiday season in a rush, overbooked, and even crazed with all we can do, want to do, and have to do. We always miss things; we can’t do it all! We may even miss the most important part of Christmas – experiencing the God who loves us enough to join us in the flesh in the birth of Jesus. So, this year we want to embrace slowing down.Through our teaching series and some specific slow assignments, we plan to pause, breath deeply, and create space with others to consider how amazing the first Christmas was. By slowing down this Advent season, may we find ourselves more filled up with the hope, peace, joy, and love of Jesus as we wait for his return.
