It's ADVENT!
It's time to prepare for the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ!  What are we planning to do to make it more meaningful?  Shopping?  Cooking?  Partying?  You've been there, done that.  It's time to have a different celebration - one that truly brings us closer to the BIRTHDAY CELEBRANT - JESUS!

How do we fit that in, you say?  We make time.  We will make time to be with the Lord because there is a special grace in this season that is present in no other!  Besides, the Lord delights in spending time with you and will give you clarity and vision for the year ahead!  Isn't that so exciting?!!!

Let's see - here are some suggested activities - you can pick one or do all!  It's up to you!  All of these are totally FREE!
