Jeff called tonight “Christmas Dreaming,” but dreams work best when accompanied by action. We start by sharing our favorite family traditions—and discussing how to handle it when life throws a curveball, forcing those traditions to change.
But we aren’t just talking; we’re putting the previous sermon into practice. Join us as we utilize the church directory and take a moment to write Christmas cards to those who can’t be with us. It’s a simple, practical way to fulfill the biblical command to “encourage one another.” You don’t need a grand gesture to make a difference this season; sometimes, a small note is all it takes.

In a world of perfectly curated, color-coordinated Christmas trees, LeeAnn’s is a beautiful mess. It’s a living museum of memories, where every branch holds a story. In this video, She shares two of my most treasured, “ratty” looking ornaments—a 50-year-old angel doll and her parents’ very first partridge—and the powerful family history they represent.
Join us as we reflect on how these small, tangible objects tie us to our past and inspire us to create new traditions. We then get hands-on, making new ornaments and new memories together.
What’s the one ornament on your tree that holds the most precious story?

Michael shares a moving, personal story of Thanksgiving as a “grafted” tradition, revealing how it serves as a crucial preparation of the heart. Learn how embracing gratitude first transforms the entire season, shifting our mindset from a “get space” to a “grace space,” and truly preparing us to receive the ultimate gift.
