This study will look at some of the familiar stories of Christmas and will remind us that the roots of the Christmas story are much deeper than we often realize. Although the story of Jesus' birth dates to around two thousand years ago, it is in fact even older than that. Come focus on the reality of God's love as shown in the gift of Jesus Christ. Rev. Ann Spears is the facilitator. The study is held at First Methodist Houston, 1320 Main St. @ Clay, in Downtown Houston. Free parking is available on the surface lot between Main and Fannin streets in slots marked Reserved. The cost of the participant's guide is $8.
