Christmas in the Middle

Ever felt caught in the middle at Christmas? Caught between what you want and what others want? Between crazy festivities and just wanting a silent night? Between pleasing your parents and satisfying the in-laws? Between giving people what they want and giving to people in need? Between putting up the tree and making room for the manger? 

The reality of Christmas is that we are caught in the middle. Caught between the secular and religious aspects of the holiday. In the middle of knowing Christ has come and Christ will come again. What if taking steps towards moderation and simplicity didn’t detract from enjoyment, but actually decreased the mayhem and increased the meaning of the holiday? What if acknowledging the secular and incorporating the religious actually reduced stress and created a more rewarding celebration of the season? We invite you to join us in December as we explore how to experience deep meaning and faithfully live Christmas in the middle!
