Hello friends,
What a joyful season this is! It's easy to get bogged down in the dinner planning and the present buying and lose sight of what Christmas is really all about. Here are a few ideas for you and your family to celebrate the Christmas season in a meaningful way:
- Shovel snow or do yard work for an elderly neighbor
- Bake a cake and sing 'Happy Birthday' to Jesus
- Display a nativity in your home or put on your own nativity play
- Plan a surprise act of service for each of your family members
- Donate winter supplies to our local homeless shelter
- Set aside time to read through the passage of Jesus' birth in Luke
Doing even one of these things helps bring the presence of Christ more fully into your world. We're so very blessed and thankful to have you as part of our Saint Michael. May God richly bless you this Christmas season!
Don't forget to join us at our Family Advent Prayer Service.
