From the Holly Jolly to the Holy: Reclaiming the Sacred During Advent and Christmas by Jim Rosenthal.
The holiness of Advent and Christmas often gets lost in the busyness of the season.

Each day during Advent, From the Holly Jolly to the Holy will help you to reclaim this time as sacred and joy-filled.
We have ordered 20 copies of this resource from Forward Movement Publications. They will be in the Narthex and Parish Hall starting Thanksgiving Day!

Each day of this devotional eBook provides a Scripture, taken from Taking Faith Home or Taking God’s Story Home (both of Vibrant Faith’s lectionary-based bulletin inserts). Also included daily is a short devotion and four-key activities to do with your loved ones.
