For Advent 2018 we’re using the DVD-based study Home for Christmas, Tales of Hope and Second Chances. “Author and United Methodist pastor Rev. Justin Coleman matches real life stories of struggle and triumph to the Advent themes of hope, love, joy, and peace to show how the light of Christmas shines brightly even in hard times.”
