Sunday Nights

I love the holiday season, because it brings up all the memories of loved ones, shared meals, and spending time with the people and things that matter most to us. When you think of Christmas, what do you think of?

This Sunday night is Christmas. For pretty obvious reasons, we won't have any of our typical programming this week. The most important among those reasons is family. We believe that families should spend quality time together and they should celebrate important events together. This year, our students and parents are encouraged to put down the phone, tablet, computer, book, whatever, and join together to celebrate the season and celebrate each other.

When we read the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ birth, we typically flip right past the family trees without thinking twice. What if we took a deeper look? What if we looked at those names as people who had a purpose, people with a role to play in God’s story or redemption? This Sunday night, that's exactly what we're going to do!

We all want a chance to connect with those around us. We all love the holiday season, and celebrating the birth of our Lord around friends and family. We all love food and games! Join us as we build relationships with friends. Join us as we celebrate the coming of Jesus. Join us as we have fun!

When we read about those who learn about Jesus’ birth, they’re usually responding with singing, praise, prophecy, worship, etc. The reaction that people give Jesus is praise, and a lot of the time it’s done through music. This week, we’ll be looking at some of the Carols that were sung on that first Christmas, and unpack what they teach us about God and how they can still have an impact for us today.
