4th Sunday of Advent

Sunday, December 22, is the 4th Sunday of Advent.  Sometime before Christmas read the story of  how Jesus’ birth came about.  You’ll find it in the first two chapters of Matthew and Luke’s gospels.  If you have young children read it from a children’s bible.

Then as a family,  think about one of the characters in the story.  Remember, the story has been told over and over again for more than 2000 years.  As that character how can you bring peace and joy to others this year ?  Or if you choose the star, how can you lead others to Christ this year?   In whatever part you play prepare yourself and others fro the birth of  Jesus in your home, your family, your workplace, your heart.   Christ is near !
