Finding Bethlehem in the Midst of Bedlam

There will be two opportunities to attend our new Advent study, Finding Bethlehem in the Midst of Bedlam. The first, an evening study, begins on Tuesday, November 26th at 7pm. It will meet for four sessions (two chapters will be covered during the last session) and will conclude on Tuesday, December 17th. The second opportunity will be five sessions and take place each Sunday morning during Sunday school from December 1st until December 29th.

“Christmas or confusion, Bethlehem or bedlam . . . Which will you choose this year? The truth is, we don’t have to choose, because Christmas always happens right in the midst of our confusion. God breaks into our confusion and is made known in Jesus Christ. Christmas and confusion–weren’t they intimately related at the first Christmas when Jesus was born? Sometimes we forget that. But, that’s what this study is about–how Christ breaks into our chaos and confusion and brings Christmas–how Bethlehem always happens in the midst of bedlam. This thematic Advent study for 2013 has five sessions–one for each Sunday of Advent and one for Christmas.
Each chapter includes questions for reflection and discussion, a brief prayer, a focus for the week, and six daily Bible readings for personal devotional time during the week.”
