All is Calm: Scripture (Chris Throness)

The month of December is filled with excitement, nostalgia, family, and beauty. It is also characterized by relationship wounds and disputes, busyness, debt, and anxiety. Often the pace of life, and even the pace of the church, can feel frenetic and hurried.This month we desire as a church to offer a counter story and different experience of what often characterizes Christmas. We will do this as we focus on the theme: All is Calm.All is Calm are lyrics from the famous Christmas carol Silent Night. Originating in Austria in the early nineteenth century, and moving through many iterations and revisions, has become one of the most prominent and beautiful Christmas carols. The enduring legacy of the carol is to reflect on the peaceful entrance of Jesus Christ into a weary and burdened world. Walk with KAC through this special season of Advent, as we lean into Old Testament whispers of the coming of Jesus, and the peace, tranquility, joy, and rest He can bring.
