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.
