SEASON 2 of The Oak Grove UMC Podcast 🎙️✨ Preview Episode: What Makes Christmas, Christmas?

Preview Episode of SEASON 2 of The Oak Grove UMC Podcast 🎙️✨ : What Makes Christmas, Christmas? Episode 1 comes out Tuesday 11/28! In Season 2 of the Oak Grove UMC Podcast we'll be exploring "What Makes Christmas, Christmas?"as we explore the themes of Advent and Christmas: anticipating the incarnation of God – God being born in human form in Jesus.  We have a great lineup of guests for this season and we’ll be looking at themes of generosity, mutuality in mission and service, and how music, and family make Christmas, Christmas. As usual, episodes will release on Tuesdays and our FIRST Episode is going to be with Dr. Angela Schaffner (Church member, author, and psychologist) who has also written our Advent Devotional Guides, which will have daily meditations and weekly themes that go along with the worship series each Sunday of Advent as we lead up to the season of Christmas. We’re also going to be trying something new with what we’re calling “Digital Contemplative Practices” which come out on the Podcast feed every Thursday. These visual and audio meditations will invite you to take a few minutes, breathe, and enjoy a quiet, meditative practice with supporting visuals from around our neighborhoods – some weeks it might be walking along a wooded stream with Nature Sounds and other weeks it might be a guided meditation from Dr. Schaffner or one of our staff on the theme of the week. Be sure to subscribe to the Oak Grove Podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts AND, you can also watch a video version on YouTube or on Spotify. We’ll see you next Tuesday, November 28th when the first episode comes out.
