This Sunday we are beginning a five-week Advent study called "A Different Kind of Christmas" in Just Coffee. This will coincide with Pastor Beth's sermon series by the same name. The study plan includes a 10-15 minute video followed by a discussion. Everyone is welcome to attend during Sunday School in the Fellowship Hall.
The United Methodist Communications website describes the study as follows:
Every year, we say we're going to cut back, simplify, and have a family Christmas that focuses on the real reason for the season - Jesus. But every year, advertisements beckon, the children plead, and it seems easier just to indulge our wants and whims. Overspending, overeating, materialism, and busyness rob us of our peace and joy and rob Jesus of his rightful role as the center of our celebration.
This Christmas, cut through the hype that leaves you exhausted and broke at the end of the year. Instead, experience the peace of knowing that God is truly with us, the joy of giving sacrificially, and the love of a Savior who gave everything he had for us.
