Welcome to the weekend, and welcome to the Saturday 7.
Although you may be a planner who knows what your holiday schedule will hold, the accounts of many people in the Bible demonstrate that God’s plans and ours may not always exactly align. God’s greatest work in our lives often begins with what we frame as interruptions. This article offers you a way to make room for Jesus, so you can welcome these disruptions and see his activity more clearly.
Christmas is a season of giving, but children learn generosity through example and experience. Listen as financial advisor Tim Russell and Reverend Drew Gysi discuss unique ways to involve children in surprise acts of generosity that teach them about stewardship while blessing others during the holidays.

When you gather with friends and family this season, we hope this playlist, which features both traditional hymns and carols, will help you celebrate Jesus’ birth and his great generosity.
“The Lord is coming, always coming. Be alert to his coming. When you have ears to hear and eyes to see, you will recognize him at any moment of your life. Life is Advent; life is recognizing the coming of the Lord.” – Advent Expectation with Henri J.M. Nouwen
