Keeping Christ at the Center of Christmas Traditions

Christmas sparkles with lights, music, and traditions, but at its heart is something far greater—a manger, a miracle, and a Savior given for us.

By starting with the story of Jesus’ birth, weaving Scripture into our days, worshiping together, and modeling a spirit of generosity, we gently guide our families back to the true center of Christmas. Every carol, every candle, every act of giving becomes a reminder that Emmanuel—God with us—is the greatest gift of all.
