On Sunday December 1st we will begin our annual journey through advent to Christmas Day. We are preparing the way of the Lord in our hearts, homes, and community. Advent and Christmas bring out the best in us as we anticipate the arrival of our savior.
Each Sunday of Advent and Christmas Eve we will feature a special Sermon and Sunday School series called “The Gift of the Nutcracker”. The Nutcracker is a classic tale that may not appear to be inspirational at first glance. However, when examine the story closely we see how the Nutcracker characters symbolize the Gospel. Clara, Drosselmier, the Mouse King, and the Nutcracker all play a part in teaching us about God’s greatest gift at Christmas, Christ Jesus, for us all.
