Life doesn’t always go as planned, and sometimes, it’s in the unexpected moments that we most need God’s peace. Join us at Rockwell Church as we reflect on Mary’s journey and find practical ways to experience God’s peace this Christmas season. We will look at Mary’s story in Luke 1:26-38 and discover how to experience God’s peace amid life’s surprises. Together, let’s embrace the message of Christmas: God’s peace is closer than we think, even in the unexpected.
