THIS CHRISTMAS: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON CHRISTMAS
WEEK 1 BIG IDEA: You were made to live generously.   

SERIES OVERVIEW:
When we think about Christmas, a few things probably come to mind: the Christmas presents (of course), the decorations, the family get-togethers, and . . . oh yeah, maybe even Jesus. In this series, you’ll challenge students to make this Christmas the best one yet — one where they give generously, examine their hearts, value their families, and allow Jesus to change them from the inside out.
