- Singing some classic Christmas Carols and talking about
Hanukkah and Its part of the Christian Story.
We are dusting off the Catechism to discover that the Creed is not just a list of principles to memorize, but a testimony of a God who created, redeemed, and sanctified you.
We celebrated Epiphany with gift bow games and a family gathering where we participated in a “regift” exchange. It was a fun way to close out the Christmas season together.
This week, we began our study of the book of Joel, exploring its major themes of judgment, genuine repentance, and God's ultimate promise of restoration and the outpouring of His Spirit.
While earthly rulers try to hijack the story of the Magi to claim power, the gifts of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh reveal a King who rules through sacrifice and death, calling us to abandon the world's version of greatness for a "different way."
Just as the Apollo 8 astronauts were awed by our tiny planet in a vast universe, Simeon’s joy reminds us that God proves His love by entering the most "insignificant" places—a manger, a small town, and our own ordinary lives—to bring us peace.
More than just a decoration, the Christmas tree stands as a symbol of the "Feast of Adam and Eve," proclaiming that the New Adam has come to restore Paradise.

The Creed cuts through the noise of our own unworthiness to name us as 'good' creatures, loved by a God who honors our flesh and blood enough to redeem it, not just replace it.
