Sometimes the simplest stories are the ones that hit the deepest. Today our kids shared Gloria’s Christmas, a musical that follows a young girl learning to tell her own story of being chosen and loved. As she finds her voice, she discovers something bigger than she expected: Christmas is a story of adoption too. Through song, joy, and honest moments from our children, this presentation reminds us what it truly means to belong.

This message will challenge you to see desperation not as a sign of weakness but as the doorway to the clarity and breakthrough you have been praying for.
