The holiday season is full of surprises:
- You think you have the perfect gift picked out for someone - only to find they already have it.
- You think you have no vacation time left - only to have your business close for the week so you can spend Christmas with your family.
- You think you will be alone at Christmas - only to find a group of friends who invite you to spend the day with them.
- You thought you knew exactly what was under the tree - only to find a gift beyond your wildest dreams.
- You thought you were done having kids - only to find the test is positive.
- You thought you'd have your baby at home - only to find a census has you on your way to Bethlehem.
- You thought there would be a place for you - only to find there was no room a the inn.
- You thought you would recognize the coming King - only to find a baby in a manger.
Join us for the next few weeks as members of our congregation share some of the surprises they have encountered around the Christmas season.
