Unwrapping God’s Greatest Gift
Advent will start on Sunday, November 30th
, and
we will start an exciting new Advent program, Under
Wraps: The Gift We Never Expected. Prepared and
piloted by The Woodlands United Methodist Church in
Houston, this joyful program explores some of God’s
unexpected qualities, presented over the four weeks of
Advent, plus an optional fifth week for Christmas:
1. God Is Expectant
2. God Is Dangerous
3. God Is Jealous
4. God Is Faithful
5. A Season of Joy
Just as the first wrapped gift beneath the
Christmas tree marks the new season, so the birth of
Jesus on Christmas Day signaled that God’s hope and
salvation and redemption plan had come into the world. In Jesus, God gift-wrapped himself in
human flesh and was born in a stable so he could come and live among us and offer us life
and salvation that we could never gain on our own.
We are offering the Under Wraps study on Tuesdays at 6:00 pm, from December 2nd
through December 23rd
. Join us this Advent as we unwrap God’s greatest gift, our Savior
Jesus.
