COME AND WORSHIP!
“Angels From the Realms of Glory” was first published on Christmas Eve 1816 in the Sheffield Iris. The hymn has a sense of urgency and excitement, magnified by the use of imperative verbs throughout, especially in the refrain: “Come and worship . . .” ~Dr. C. Michael Hawn, professor of sacred music, Perkins School of Theology
This week's Family E-Connection is dedicated to some ideas to help parents celebrate this beautiful season in a truly meaningful way with their families.
The Board and Staff of Wisconsin Family Action & Wisconsin Family Council wish you a very Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year!
A Family Devotion for Christmas
 From The Gospel Project:
Most of us would agree that the Christmas season can be quite chaotic. It is easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle and lose sight of why we celebrate. That is why it is important for parents to be intentional in pointing their kids to Jesus during this Christmas season. Dedicate time to worship God as a family and explore the meaning of Christmas. There are many helpful resources for drawing your family’s attention to Jesus during Christmas, but no resource is as valuable as God’s Word. Dads and moms can use this short devotion to lead their family in a time of worship.
