What did you like best about Christmas when you were a kid?
New toys? Grandmother's house? Or was it the piney aroma
of the tree? Could it have been simply the sheer wonder of
it all? If you watch young children on Christmas morning,
you'll see the excitement sparkling in their eyes. That's
what this preaching series is all about - experiencing the
joy of Christmas by opening your heart to this season of
wonder.
This season can be one of awe, mystery, and excitement if
we open our hearts in childlike wonder. With this Advent
Celebration, you'll help your congregation to "open their
heart's door to Christmas and beyond."
