Getting Ready for Christmas Discussion Guide - Week 3
by Sherrill Wall and Christopher Burford on December 15th, 2024

WelcomeWelcome to the Advent series – Getting Ready for Christmas. We all want Christmas to be special – something more than a series of shopping trips, seasonal music, food, and family gatherings. We want more than a few familiar carols and a nativity scene. But too easily Christmas can come and go and we are left with the thought that we have survived Christmas again.
