As we approach one of western civilizations best know stories as we observe Advent, a season of preparation for the coming of the King.  The Christmas narrative is written, preached and sung about so much our eyes are dulled by the repetition and familiarity of it.  Like our daily tasks, we may follow the traditions dulled by habit and neglect the sacred hidden in each moment, the unknown or forgotten details.

This year, we will be following The Journey: Walking the Road to Bethlehem a curriculum by Adam Hamilton.

I’ve invited the youth, children and library study to it.  We’ll be following the focus through worship and a related reading in the library Wednesday night group.

In the coming days we will travel with the Holy Family in preparation for meeting Messiah at the manger.

The Theme through Advent is The Journey.
