A Child is Born: A Beginner's Guide to Nativity Stories

Facilitated by Pastor Amy Chapman, this gathering is a study of Amy-Jill Levine's book, A Child is Born: A Beginner's Guide to Nativity Stories and will explore how the ancient birth-stories of Isaac, Ishmael, Samson, and Samuel connect with the story of Jesus’ birth — enriching our perspective this Advent season. We welcome you — whether you’ve read the book or are just curious — to come, reflect, and walk together toward Christmas with renewed insight and hope. You can find the recommended, but not required, reading here. Let's prepare our hearts together. Register below.
