Advent Reflections -Celebrating life and light – Monday, Nov. 15th, at 7:30 pm EDT
Brightening Winter’s SADD Times – TBA
Christmas! Few words evoke the mixture of memories and emotions as those that flash on our mental screen at the mention of Christmas. That mixture of reactions spans deep and broad. It’s everyone’s favorite holiday, right? Answer: It depends…
The most anticipated morning of the year (in western culture) is probably Christmas morning! The marketplace banks on it and starts promoting it earlier every year.
But like many of you, my default reaction to “Christmas is coming” was: “Christmas is so stressful!!!”
While the true meaning of Christmas resonated deeply with me, I was getting tangled up in all the trappings of our modern Christmas holiday. And, my joy was getting crowded out with the extra demands on my time and our pocketbook. Each day on the December calendar countdown, my stress mounted.
Then, I discovered Advent while living in southern Germany, a land that specializes in celebrating Christmas in the Marktplatz. That was the year that Advent began to rescue the Christmas celebration for me and impact our young family.
Adopting the devotional custom of Advent helped me turn Christmas stress into a true celebration of life and light. Whether intentional or not, holidays always create memories. So, what if you could use this holiday to nurture your faith and your family’s faith? Now is your chance to learn more at the next Talk Talk webinar. Please join us!

Sure, Fall’s harvest, Thanksgiving, and Giving Tuesday themes do provide a natural opportunity to talk about gratitude. Maybe you are also seeing reports about “gratitude” studies and the new science of gratitude. So, is gratitude the “Happiness/Health Hack” for our complicated, and sometimes weary, lives?
Or, is there a deeper relational and spiritual impact found at the heart level if we approach gratitude from a biblical perspective?
Join us on Thursday evening, November 4th from 7:30 to 8:30pm EST
