“Sent” - Delivering the Gift of Hope at Christmas, By Jorge Acevedo

God sent Christ into the world as our Savior. In turn, Christ sends us into the world. But do we really understand how, where, and why we are sent? This churchwide Advent experience challenges us through story, art, and Bible study to discover what it means to be Christ’s hands, feet, head, and heart.
