A Confused Christmas

Do you remember how you understood Christmas as a kid? It might have been confusing with all the different sights, sounds, & traditions. Society may be confused, but our families do not need to be! Through intentional teaching of the Biblical passages, explanation of traditions, and careful study of the lyrics of the Christmas songs we sing, we can give the Christmas story the opportunity to bring clarity to our lives.

TALK ABOUT IT - Questions to GROW through with family, friends, & myself.
