Have you ever noticed how Christmas ("the most wonderful time of the year") can tend to be one of the most hectic times of the year? The weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas often seem to fly by…unless, perhaps, you're a student waiting for school break! And not only are we crazy busy, but the Christmas story is just so familiar (and often it's a highly romanticized version, too). Is it any wonder we so easily miss the awe and strangeness of God becoming…human? Join us for the four weeks of Advent as we seek to slow down, quiet our busy hearts and minds, and take a fresh look at the incredibly strange way God chose to save the world by sending Jesus – God in the flesh.
