Hey family,

At the end of just about every Christmas movie, conversation, or memory, people say, “…and that’s what Christmas is all about.” What they mean is, it’s about giving to one another, being more gracious, loving others who don’t deserve it, etc. And while these are all good things, they miss the real point of Christmas.

The point is, these are the things that Christ has done. He has thought of the poor and the lonely, he has given grace to the undeserving, he has done everything that we need not only to have relationship with each other, but to have relationship with him, which is the most important thing. That’s is what Christmas is all about.

So please, come to our new four-week series leading up to Christmas. This week we’re going to be giving away a tiny gift to help you and your family celebrate what Christmas is all about. We are following all health and safety recommendations, but if you can’t make our in-person gathering, there will be a brief preview online Saturday at 6 p.m. on Zoom, 472 778 7718, password 0825.
