The Gathering

The Christmas story is full of moments when characters are invited to look up. Even though their lives contained confusion, fear, and grief God was still at work. If they didn't turn their gaze upward they risked missing the miracle of Jesus' birth.

The same could be said of us this Christmas. Distractions surround us, but this Christmas Eve is an opportunity to pause and look up.

The most basic promise of Christmas is that God is not far away, but with us. During a time of great uncertainty, chaos, fear, and grief God’s presence is among us. This Advent we will explore the meaning of this promise and how it can be a source of hope for us today.
Join us for worship on Sunday morning or anytime on demand. Dive deeper into the meaning of Christmas with our Advent calendar and daily devotional. Find all the details at in our app or at gatheringnow.org/advent.
