Happy Christian New Year! If you're scratching your head at this greeting, you'll want to jump into this advent conversation with Aaron Damiani. Aaron will take us back to some of the early church traditions regarding the celebration of the birth of Christ and how these can add depth, insight, and connection to this time of preparation for Christmas.
What word or lesson comes to mind when reading about how the birth of Jesus came about? During our Tuesday devotional teaching, Pastor Gerad Hall will focus on an "obstacle of obeying." Be listening to hear one of the lessons God has for us this Christmas as we study the very first Christmas on Ken and Deb in the Morning.
