Every year at Christmas, we tell the story of Mary and Joseph’s journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem. But how much do you really know about this story? Join us this advent for The Journey, where we will take a familiar story and tell it in fresh ways.

This series is based on The Journey: Walking the Road to Bethlehem by Adam Hamilton. There are several resources, including small group study guides, that you can purchase to enhance your experience of this Christmas season. You can find those resources here.
