An Unlikely advent
Extraordinary People of the Christmas Story
Expect the unexpected this Christmas
This four-week Advent study focuses on the experiences of four sets of often overlooked characters in the Nativity story. During this Advent season, Rachel Billups guides readers through the themes of hope, love, joy, and peace by sharing the stories of Elizabeth and Zechariah, Herod, the Magi, and the shepherds. Each set of unexpected characters has something to teach about living faithfully on the journey to Christmas.
Participants should acquire their own book for the study. Books may be purchased from a variety of outlets such as Cokesbury, Amazon, etc.
