2 Nobody expected the arrival of a baby to shake up their lives. But when that baby is Jesus, plans are rearranged, beliefs are challenged, and ordinary people find their lives forever changed. * Our worship services during advent will be based on the series, The Christmas Dilemma by the Skit Guys. We will meet Mary, Joseph, the Innkeeper, One of the Wise Men, and a Shepherd. These Biblical characters will come to life as they share their unique perspective of the birth of their Savior. What is your Christmas Dilemma? Is it finding Joy in this hectic season? Are you struggling with Obedience to God or finding it hard Saying Yes when God calls? Do you Doubt that you are good enough to do what He is calling you to do? Do you find your Belief challenged that this tiny Baby could save us all? How about challenging yourself to not miss a worship service in December? How about bringing another family member, a friend, or a co-worker to join each Sunday? When Jesus enters the picture, our plans can get turned upside down, but His plan leads to joy, hope, and salvation. * *Quotes from the Skit Guys Page 2
