35. Improvised Live Nativity
Wednesday Morning - December 24, 2025
The Grace Harbor Christmas Eve service features a live improvised nativity, where anyone can put on a costume a play a part. Because there’s no practice ahead of time, there are always surprises, which makes it a wonderful picture of the first Christmas.
Discussion Question(s)

Prayer
Dear God, we thank you for the parts of the Christmas story we know and love, and we thank you for the parts that can still surprise us. Keep our eyes open to see where you might still surprise us today. Amen.

34. Love In Action
Tuesday Evening - December 23, 2025
Dan helps Brie the Baker close up her shop for the Christmas break. We learn that setting intentions sometimes involves keeping our eyes open for opportunities we don’t see coming.
Discussion Question(s)
• What was one moment from today when you gave or received God’s love?
Prayer
Dear God, we thank you that your love is all around us. It fills our hearts, it inspires us to action, and it flows through other people to us. Give us a good night’s sleep tonight so that we can wake up rested and refreshed, and ready to celebrate Christmas Eve. Amen.

December 23, 202533. Love Is... - Tuesday Morning
33. Love Is...
Tuesday Morning - December 23, 2025
The theme for the fourth and final week of Advent is love. Love is a word that everyone knows and uses, but it has so many different meanings.
Discussion Question(s)
• What is one silly thing and one serious thing that you love?
• How can you remind yourself of the true meaning of Christmas today?
Prayer
Dear God, we thank you for your love. We thank you that your love for us isn’t just a feeling, but it’s something that led to you to come be with us in Jesus. As we go about our day today, may we keep the true meaning of Christmas alive in our hearts. Amen.

December 22, 202532. A Sign Unto You - Monday Evening
32. A Sign Unto You
Monday Evening - December 22, 2025
Though the story of Jesus’ birth doesn’t happen until three-quarters of the way through the Bible, God promised he would come from the very beginning. We take a look at some of the signs God gave to show that the first Christmas was coming.
Discussion Question(s)
• If God put you and your family in charge of letting the world know that Christmas is coming in just a few days, how would you do it?
Prayer
Dear God, we thank you for this day and for all of your blessings - especially the blessing of Christmas. It seems that, since you dropped so many hints about Christmas for thousands of years before it happened, you must have been even more excited about it than we are today. May we rest tonight knowing that you’re still excited for us to get to know your son, Jesus. Amen.

31. Look for the Signs
Monday Morning - December 22, 2025
Sometimes we can be waiting for something so long that we begin to worry it won’t actually happen. But one way we can reassure ourselves is by looking for signs.
Discussion Question(s)
• What are some signs that Christmas is actually coming?
Prayer
Dear God, we thank you that Christmas is *so* close. While it may feel like we’ve been waiting for a long time, and we still have a few days to go, there are signs all around us that Christmas is coming and that you love us. Amen.

29. Longest Night
Friday Morning - December 19, 2025
Note to grown-ups: Today's episode talks about how holidays can be hard for some families. We’re going to acknowledge loss and grief, which is an important conversation to have. I’ve done my best to frame it appropriately for all ages, but if you'd like to preview it first, please do.
Not everyone feels happy at Christmas time, and that’s ok. This weekend marks the longest night of the year, and some churches host worship services that can help offer comfort and hope to those who need it.
Discussion Question(s)
• What was a time when you were sad and someone made you feel better?

• Emmaline

Prayer
Dear God, please hold us close in your embrace. Be near to us this night, until the light returns and morning comes. Amen.
