Count Up

Preparing Our Hearts for Christmas

Do thoughts about the upcoming holidays cause angst instead of excitement?

Sometimes the way we celebrate Christmas feels more like a race to win, or an event to avoid, than the peace-filled experience its meant to be.

Friend, we have experienced holiday overwhelm to the extreme.

But, we’ve also begun to understand how important this season is to prepare our hearts to recognize the birth of our Savior, Jesus.

We realize Christmas isn’t a holiday to count down to — but up to.

So, we’ve invited some of our friends to join us in hosting the Count Up virtual event.

by attending, you can expect to:

  • Receive encouragement as you prepare for the upcoming holiday season
  • Fellowship with others seeking peace this Christmas
  • Realize practical steps you can take to decrease overwhelm
    • Glean wisdom from others to increase your joy
    • Understand you aren’t alone with the burden to make Christmas perfect
    • Cultivate a heart filled with peace as 2022 comes to a close

The virtual event will be emailed on
November 1- 4, 2022

We will end with a live Zoom event on
Nov 5, 2022 AT 8 AM pt/11 AM et
