A Deeper Look at Christmas Traditions

Every Wednesday night our church participates in what we call "A Deeper Look."  It's an opportunity for us to examine a topic, a Scriptural passage, a verse, or a congregational question in more depth than we'd have the opportunity to do on an average Sunday worship service.  Tonight we'll be taking a look at the history behind many of our every year Christmas traditions.  Unfortunately there are dozens of traditions we won't have time to cover, but there are a few important ones that we will.  We'll look at the December 25th traditional date for the observation of Christmas.  Why do we celebrate it then?  Come find out.  What about Christmas trees?  Anything in the Bible about Christmas trees?  Well, no, but they're fun, and we'll see where they come from.  Along with the trees we'll examine the lights and decorations and why we do that.  In addition, we'll finish off with the jolly man in the red suit.  Yes, Santa, the kind-hearted saint that flew into Bethlehem on December 25th, just in time to catch the birth of Jesus.  Not sure about that one?  That's b/c obviously that's not where Santa originated.  Want to know the truth?  Come find out.  It's gonna be informative, fun, and enlightening, and you will DEFINITELY learn something you didn't know before.  Join us at 7:00 for A Deeper Look at Christmas Tradition
