Is the Christmas story just something that happened a long time ago...or is it a story that is still happening today? 

For too many of us the celebration of Christmas has lost its wonder. Maybe for you it has become a bittersweet season of complicated family rituals, or a predictable brand masking unquenchable consumerism, or simply a sacred story that feels far from any
relevance in our current chaotic world.
Written by celebrated artist-storyteller Scott Erickson Honest Advent seeks to illuminate the astonishing, hope-filled truth that the God who showed up in the hardest parts of our humanity is still showing up today in those same places. 
This 25 day devotional begins on December 1st. Rachel is inviting people to read the devotional and then meet on Sunday, December 11 at 9am in the Spirit Center (this is a one service Sunday) and again on Sunday, December 18 at 9am in classroom 103 in the Sanctuary Bldg to share in reflections and discussions about the reading.
Books are available for $10 in the church office.
