“The Holy Spirit of Christmas” | Saturday, Dec. 7 @ 2pm-3pm & Sunday, Dec. 8 @ 12pm-1pm
The decorated tree. Beautifully wrapped gifts. Bountiful meals. We enjoy all this at Christmas often without considering what preceded the final glorious presentation. In some ways, the same is true of the nativity story. The arrival of Jesus is our rightful focus… but what transpired before that event to bring it to accomplishment? Join Charles Morris in “the Holy Spirit of Christmas” as he uniquely explains the work of the Holy Spirit in delivering the Father’s special present to the world. Also featured are Pastor Costi Hinn and musician Laura Story.
