To truly experience Christmas, we must have a thankful heart.  It's easy to get caught up in the rush - the shopping lists, the parties, the planning - but if we pause and reflect on what God has done for us, we can experience the joy, peace, and wonder of the season like never before. Let's slow down, take notice, and live fully in the moments He gives us this Christmas.

Making memories through connection. The best memories are made together.  This week is all about connections - laughing, celebrating and experiencing Christmas with friends, family and your church community.

Taking intentional steps to deepen faith and connect with God and others this Christmas.  This Christmas, let's take time to grow deeper in prayer, in hope and in faith.  Growth happens when we open our hearts to him.

This week we will focus on experiencing the heart of Christmas by serving others and spreading joy in our community.  Whether it's providing meals or ringing a Salvation Army bell - every moment of serving shines His Light into our community.

Generosity - not just giving gifts, but giving ourselves. Every act of generosity tells the story of Jesus, who gave us everything.

 The Holiday Season is just starting.  Let's slow down and truly experience the presence of God by LIVING IN THE MOMENT.

Be on the lookout for our challenges which include: Holiday Mug Monday, Christmas Lights Adventure and a special EXPERIENCE CHRISTMAS scavenger hunt.
