Magical | Searching for the Deep Meaning of Christmas
Sundays | December 3–31
9:00 & 10:45 a.m. | Oak Brook
10:00 a.m. | Butterfield
Through the eyes of children and poets, Christmas is a magical time. It’s a season fostered with hope, filled with wonder, and finished with surprise. At Christmas, we might just see a dazzling light that gets us up and going on a new path. We may just meet strangers who become like family. We could just encounter Someone who makes us fall on our knees and offer our gifts. And so it was at the first Christmas when “Magi from the East” (Matthew 2:1) set forth on a journey that would change their lives forever. Join us this December as we parallel their pilgrimage and discover afresh and for ourselves the deep meaning of Christmas.
