Can you believe Advent begins this Sunday?
TThis week, I spent some time in final preparations for our church-wide Advent Study, “Skipping Christmas.” I’ve been re-reading the book (John Grisham’s Skipping Christmas) and planning our discussions… and I have a feeling that a family viewing of Christmas with the Kranks (the film adaptation of the book) will be part of my weekend plans.
Our 2020 Advent Study will take place on December 3 and 10 at 6:30 PM via Zoom. Together, we’ll be discussing scripture and thinking about our own holiday traditions and experiences as we read Skipping Christmas. The book centers on a couple who are completely re-thinking how they’ll celebrate Christmas in response to a significant change in their life circumstances. Sound familiar to anyone? It seems like this season of Advent-meets-COVIDtide is the perfect time to read a book like this!
