I received this e-mail about the series and thought it was worth posting. Notice the importance of the small group! I have the author's permission, though she wants to remain nameless...
"Bob, I am amazed how very much I am being impacted by your sermon series Christmas in July. I love Christmas - the story of the Nativity, Advent, Children's pageant, Santa, food, gift giving, cards, family and friends - all of it! But I must confess that it is the Lenten journey culminating in Easter that has ever been my closest connection with God. Christmas has always been a celebration of love, but Easter was what my faith is all about.
The sermon plus my small group last night has given much, much more depth to the real meaning of Christmas to me. I want to thank you for giving us this opportunity to stretch.
I wish everyone could participate in a small group during this time. Our group had a great time discussing and going deeper into the subject.
I approached this sermon topic sort of "luke warm" (Not an attended reference to the real St. Luke). I will participate now with enthusiasm and great interest as to what is coming next!
Again, thanks to you and Liza for vitalizing our summer worship."
