We will discuss the content of the book, The Characters of Christmas: The Unlikely People Caught Up in the Story of Jesus by Daniel Darling.
Description: We hate to admit it, but after years, sometimes even decades, of reading the same Luke 2 story of Christmas, we get a little bored—we lose some of the awe we ought to have when discussing the greatest miracle in history. That’s why The Characters of Christmas was written, to help you take a fresh look at the Christmas story by getting to know the minor characters that played a part in Jesus’ birth, such as Zechariah and Elizabeth, the Shepherds, and Herod.
As you slow down, engage your imagination, and enter into the stories of these women and men, you’ll see the most important character—Jesus Christ—with new eyes.
And with discussion questions and a Christmas song suggestion at the end of each chapter, it’s perfect for engaging your whole family. Break free from the familiar, and discover something you never knew about the story you’ve always heard.
Who is it for? This will be the Mid-Week Study for Adults and will extend into January 2025. Men & Women will meet together for a short time then break off into separate discussion groups for the remainder of the time.
When is it? Wednesdays at 6:30pm.
Where is it? We will begin in the Fellowship Hall at 6:30pm then will break off into separtate rooms for discussion groups.
