CE: Reflection, anticipation, and preparation in December

The God who comes to us announces the preparations of Advent, the gift of Christmas, and the revealing of Epiphany. But this is not a God who comes in just one way, or at one time, or through one experience.

How might children and youth relate to the real Christmas story? How does that story fit into their lives and faith journey? Join us for a month of mission, discernment, and celebration. 

Please bring diapers for our collection drive!
