St. Mark Battle Creek
Experience Christmas Eve
ABOUT THE SERIES:
Be honest, it’s not quite the most wonderful time of the year, is it?
The holiday season is supposed to be merry and happy but, it’s not. Studies find it’s a time of increased stress due to everything from over-strained budgets to over-strained schedules to over-strained waistlines.
This year, you’re invited to Experience Christmas at St. Mark and discover all the faith, hope, peace, and joy the Christmas story brings. You’ll find how Christmas isn’t about getting away from the problems of life or pretending they don’t exist, rather, it’s about a God who’s with us even in the middle of our hardship.
Maybe your challenges this season are the very thing that help you Experience Christmas.
ABOUT THE EPISODE:
There was more darkness around the shepherds than just the night sky. They were the outcasts of society, living in poverty, under the rule of a foreign dictator. In much the same way, there’s a darkness that comes with our holiday season– news we can’t control that shrouds us. But Jesus is a light that shines in the darkness.
