The Christmas Letters
You may or may not know the story of your birth. If you do, there is something special about hearing your origin story again and remembering how it all began for you. That's why we observe Advent: to celebrate how it all began for us. In The Christmas Letters, Magrey deVega invites you to hear about the miracle of Christ's birth from those who first told the story. The letters in the New Testament, known as the Epistles, contain the first attempts by the church to understand and celebrate the mystery of the Incarnation. They point us to the origins of what we believe about Jesus, fully human and fully divine. By spending time with these holy, ancient words this Advent, you'll come to know the meaning of Christ's coming like never before. Read the New Testament letters, Romans, 1 John, Philippians, and Colossians as your first Christmas letters of the season and find within them an invitation from God to deepen your understanding of the Incarnation and embrace a fuller commitment to Jesus Christ. Starting Wednesdays, November 12 - December 10 (not meeting Thanksgiving week) 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m., Asbury Room. Led by Rev. David Melton and Rev. Joy Melton. You may buy the book for $15 or purchase from another retailer. Click HERE to sign up.
The Angels of Christmas Online Advent Study

Through video, reading, and discussion we discover what these angelic appearances can teach us about God’s presence in history and our lives today.
