The Christmas season begins in mid-November as stores and shops begin to display their Christmas items.  By Black Friday, Christmas is in full swing and so are we, as we begin putting in the extra time and effort in preparing to make the holidays “merry and bright.” And yet, so many times we come away from the season exhausted, disappointed and with regrets, wishing we would have, could have…. and convincing ourselves that next year will be different.  Many of us would like to move our Christmas focus onto the One whose birthday we celebrate, but in an already busy season – the thought of adding more can be overwhelming.

HERE ARE IDEAS that are prepared for you and won’t place a time or financial burden on you, but will help you place your focus on the Real Reason for the Season.

Each day from December 1 – 25 we will post an Act of Kindness, a short Bible Reading and a family activity.

Today’s Act of Kindness: Wave to a neighbor!

Today’s Bible Reading: John 3:16, John 1:1-5

Today’s Family Activity: Do a count down to Christmas using a calendar.

Join us this Sunday for an inspirational new series, “St. Luke’s Christmas” with Pastor Christopher Dodge.
