Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the ceaseless promotion of a commercial Christmas is enough to drive you a little crazy. Yet it is also so easy to get caught up in the frenzy that has become the modern American Christmas season. Don’t get me wrong, it is nice to be able to share your prosperity by giving gifts to your loved ones. However, not if means totally losing the spiritual significance of this holy time of the year. This Sunday, Reverend Michael Moran will remind us of what makes Christmas so significant as he shares tried and true ways to truly experience this time of awe and wonder. He will also introduce us to the Christmas Pledge to refocus our thoughts and actions on what truly matters. He will also invite us to commit to living it this holiday season.
