Wait! That’s Not the Christmas Story

December 12, 2019 By admin



Sunday, December 22, 10:00 a.m.

SAN Wesley Hall

What’s your favorite part of the Christmas story? The three wise men? The shepherds guided by an incredibly bright star? Maybe it’s the quaint image of Christ sleeping in a barn with the other lambs. Well…as usual, Dr. Brad King is here to ruin your good time. The Christmas story that we all know and love is, in Brad’s words, a “mess of mixed-up myths,” but he also insists that a more accurate version of the story is just as beautiful and even more relevant to Christian life and love.

Join Brad and the rest of your church family on December 22 for a special Christmas celebration. In addition to riveting conversation, we’ll have plenty of hot cocoa and cookies to keep everyone’s spirits high!

All Are Welcome

We believe that every person is a beloved child of God. We believe that every person is on a journey toward God, with God. We freely admit that we do not have all the answers. We believe that Jesus points the way.
