Holly Jolly Summer Christmas

Connection had a holly jolly Christmas this July. Sunday we enjoyed building Frosty the Marshman (we used marshmallows because sadly there was no snow to be found in the area), played Christmas Carol Charades, had a lovely rendition of Partridge in a pair tree and so much more.

The Christmas spirit was truly evident this July. Too often we can miss the importance of Christmas when it's surrounded by all of the Holiday hooplah. It was awesome for us to take the time to celebrate God's interaction with mankind at a not-so-normal time of the year.

Our lesson centered on faith and the fact that it is by faith that we are justified. Faith is not something to be based off of emotions or the crowds but it is something that should be based on the proven trustworthiness of God which can be found in the scriptures.

We then had an amazing prayer time to close in which we lifted our lives and the lives of others to the Lord.
