Tip of the Month:

November

It's very common for most of our friends to think like us, care about the things we care about, and believe what we believe. While it's comfortable to be around people who are like us, it also limits our view of the world and our chances to find deep, life-altering relationships. So what can we do to model inclusivity and get out of our bubble?

Check out this video.

Resource of the Month: November

In a world so full of social interactions, it can be hard for the world at large to recognize the greatness within every unique introvert. THIS BOOK is a great and eye-opening read for all introverts and the extroverts who love them.

City of Angels: A Series from the Gospels on Christmas

November 30th, December 7th and December 14th

SERIES OVERVIEW: Why are there so many Christmas songs about angels? Because angels show up all throughout the Christmas story with great news! In this four-week series, kids will explore the foundational stories of Jesus’ birth with a focus on the angels who were there to witness them! From the city where Jesus was born, to the cities we live in today, the angels’ message is just as important now as it was then! Jesus is God’s plan, calms our fears, makes everything new, and is God’s love for everyone.
