Christmas is 'the most wonderful time of the year!' But it can also be the most stressful, the busiest, and the least spiritual as you juggle all the obligations and expectations that come with the Season! 

Are you in need of a time of spiritual rest and refreshment? Are you dreading the end of the Holiday whirlwind and the inevitable doldrums that come with January and February? Come feast on God's Word with us and learn how to take all these things and ponder them in your heart!

I hope you're ready to be challenged in your thinking as we explore these topics together. We'll get into the Word and consider these things and what it means for our lives and practice!

We hope you'll be uplifted and encouraged by what the Bible has to say and that you'll come back with us week after week as we continue to learn and grow together!
