Advent Journey
Journey with David Lux as he travels from Nazareth to Bethlehem in this fascinating look at the birth of Jesus Christ using Adam Hamilton’s book, The Journey. Hamilton approaches a world-changing event with thoughtfulness. Using historical information, archaeological data, and a personal look at some of the stories surrounding the birth, the most amazing moment in history will become more real and heart-felt as you walk along this road.
This group will meet on Wednesday evenings beginning November 30th at 6:30 p.m. and will continue through Advent. Cost of the book is $12 or copies will be made available from the church library. For more information or to register contact Jamie Scott, jscott@saintpaulumc.org.
The Journey: Walking the Road to Bethlehem will be the theme for Advent at Saint , 12th and M. Using background material developed by Adam Hamilton of Church of the Resurrection in Kansas City, the whole church through worship and education events will be reliving the journeys of Mary and Joseph that led to the birth of Jesus. In those journeys gifts are received and experienced: willingness, mercy, encouragement, perseverance, presence and joy. The community is welcome to come and join in this life-changing experience of the Christmas journey. Worship at 6 p.m. on Saturday nights, 9:00 and 10:30 a.m. on Sunday mornings.
Be sure to check out our Minister to the Community, Rev. Stephen Griffith’s post on his blog Gathering Fragments!
