Synopsis "God's Story: Advent & Christmas"
It's time to party! Admission is free. Dress code is optional; your preference. Don't worry about bringing gifts. Your presence is your gift to the host; nothing else is needed. Your family and friends are welcome, too; like you they have a standing invitation. You don't need to shop around for ideas on what to do and how to behave. The Advent plan is ready. Here's how we will help you prepare. For four weeks, you will be blessed with biblical prophesies and gospel narratives, studies and discussions, hymns and prayers, sermons and sacraments. The Church will prepare you to be ready for God's phenomenal party celebration which happens everywhere on planet earth. God's astonishing party will be given by the Christian Church. That's us - United Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Roman Catholic, Greek and Russian Orthodox, etcetera, etcetera, and etcetera. Be assured that we truly desire your presence, celebrating with us and giving Christ the glory! We expect this book to help you to be ready for the blessed and joyful Christmas event. A reflection guide is included. While the book works well for personal devotions, it will be most helpful if also used in a group experience.
