"Gospel Writers Tour of Homes"
Dec. 2-Dec. 24, 2018
Part of the power of the celebration of Christmas is found in tradition. You, no doubt, return to familiar observations of the season. There are decorations, foods and other traditions that we revisit year after year. It’s part of what makes it Christmas.
This Advent we will consider how each Gospel writer might celebrate this season. How might Matthew decorate his home, or what Carols would be most important to Luke? Each writer speaks of Jesus in a different way, so if we look closely we will find that each Gospel writer celebrates this season in his own way. So, let’s take a Gospel writers Tour of Homes this Advent. It will no doubt bring to sharper focus what will be important to celebrate in our homes this Christmas.
Dec. 2 Christmas at Mark’s House: Where the Son of God can be Found.
Dec. 9 Christmas at Matthew’s House: All in the Family
Dec. 16 Christmas at Luke’s House: It’s a Place on the Edge of Town
Dec. 23 Christmas at John’s House: Our Words and The Word
Dec. 24 Christmas Eve: Welcome Home, Little One
