The Christmas story can be one of those familiar narratives with recognizable characters. The shepherds, the Magi, the manger, the inn, the angels; all exactly the same as they were last year. Add to this familiarity the bustle of the season, and there is little chance to be surprised or awakened by the Christmas story.
But what if we were to look closely? What if we were to slow down and open ourselves to a fresh sense of awe? This Advent season on Sunday mornings we will dive into the Christmas story with fresh eyes. We will see the intersection of the ancient context with our present moment. Come discover how the characters of the first Christmas story intertwine with our stories.
