Missional Christmas Challenge

Have you ever had a Christmas zoom by that you wished you could get back and do over again?  I think when the kids were younger I could say that 2 out of every 3 Christmases were that way.  Christmas day would come and go, and I would still be trying to get ready for the “Big Day.”  Keep reading with me and learn about this great tool, Missional Christmas Challenge.

Our dear friends and who Gregg and I call Pastor, has developed a tool that helps us focus on Christmas’ meaning.  What if this year instead of concentrating on obligatory gifts and checking items off your to-do list, you focus on the people who surrounded you?

Missional Christmas Challenge

Don’t let your Christmas be about the “To Do” list or “To Buy” list this year.

I am going to be taking the challenge this year along with my husband.   Will you join me and let’s take the #missionalchristmas challenge together to help us keep perspective, stay calm and genuinely enjoy the meaning of Christmas?

Count me in!

For seven days, beginning next Tuesday, November 28, Les & Page will send a daily email to the subscribers with a short devotional from their book, A Missional Christmas, along with a simple, memorable family activity.

Read that day’s devotional, have fun with the unique activity and join them live on Facebook every night at 7 p.m. Central, 8 p.m. Eastern. We’ll share more about the devotional thought for the day and see how creative your family is each day.  If you miss a day, the facebook lives will be available for you to go back and watch to catch up.  To connect on Facebook, go to Meanwhile Ministries Be sure to click the “like” to be connected.

Even if you can only participate one night, please do! It’s not our intention to add one more thing to your “to do” list. We just want to help you keep your perspective at a time when it’s easy to lose.

What happens afterward?

Like I said at the top of the post, Pastor Les is a dear friend and spiritual leader in our lives.  We love him and his wife Page dearly. We also trust their leadership in teaching God’s word.   This 7-day challenge is from their A Missional Christmas, 28 days from overwhelming to unforgettable book.

If you are looking for a devotional for you, your family or small group, this would be an excellent option for you to consider.  You can purchase the hard copy book A Missional Christmas on their website for $9.99, or you can get the ebook from Amazon for $3.99.

Give a shout out if you have a moment and help get the word out about this devotional.  I would love to have many people joining us during this Advent season.
