A Sabbath Gathering Guide – December 26, 2021

THE SEASON OF CHRISTMAS

MOVEMENT #1: Create Space

• Gather with the people in your home and remove distractions.
• Spend 2 minutes being still with Jesus.
• Read: Luke 2:41-52

MOVEMENT #2: Practice Reflection

1. Imagine you are with 12 year old Jesus in the temple. What kind of questions do you think he asked the teachers?
2. Imagine you are Mary and you find Jesus in the temple. What would you be feeling? And what would you “store in your heart” if you were her?
3. What questions is God inviting you to explore this season as you store the reminder in your heart that God is with you?

MOVEMENT #3: Pray

• Spend 2 minutes being still with Jesus.
• Pray that you, like Jesus, would “grow in wisdom and favor” this coming year.
• Thank Jesus for the gift of Sabbath and the time spent resting with him.
