A Moment to Pause
Every year the signs of Christmas come earlier and earlier. Decorations, songs, and commercials seem to be everywhere. They are designed to make us feel happy, loving, grateful, and in the mood to give (and spend). The expectations - whether they are self-imposed or from the outside can be overwhelming. And if you are experiencing a new situation this year - because of a loss or transition in life, the expectations can be confusing and upsetting.
Join us as we sort through our expectations and values during the season in a way to help you focus more time and energy on the true reason behind the season no matter what phase of life you are experiencing. You will be invited to leave with one “YES” and one “NO” that will help you experience a more Christ-centered Advent season and nurture your Christmas spirit.
