Have you experienced loss?
Are you wondering how you’ll find the strength to celebrate Christmas this year? Grief can feel like an overwhelming weight, whether it’s the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or the heartbreak of unfulfilled hopes and dreams. Sometimes, it doesn’t fade entirely, and the Christmas season can magnify those painful waves of sorrow.
If this is where you are, you’re not alone, and it’s okay to feel what you’re feeling.
Grief can be especially challenging around the holidays, but it doesn’t have to steal your Christmas. In fact, your grieving heart needs the hope and truth of Christmas more than ever. This week, in “The _____ That Stole Christmas, Pt. 3 Grief”, Pastor Stu Hodges will share three powerful parallels between the emotion of grief and the message of Christmas, which will bring comfort, encouragement, and hope to your heart.
Join us this week as we discover the hope and beauty of Christmas—even in the midst of sorrow.
