Advent Bible Study
The Heart That Grew Three Sizes: Finding Faith in the Story of The Grinch by Matt Rawle

“Whether you’ve read the original Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas! As a bedtime story, gathered the family together to watch the television special, or hit the theatres for one of the movie adaptations, you know how this story never seems to leave our imagination. Maybe it makes you think about the commercialism of Christmas. Or maybe it makes you think about yourself (The Heart That Grew Three Sizes: Finding Faith in the Story of the Grinch, Bible Study Leaders guide, p 7).”

In this Bible study, author Matt Rawle guides us through a fresh examination of the classic Christmas story. He invites us to rediscover the Advent season in innovative and thought-provoking ways. Through the lens of The Grinch, we’ll delve into the realms of literature, art, and entertainment to explore how God’s redemptive story is woven into our lives and the world around us.

This four-week Bible study series will commence on Tuesday, November 26th. Sessions will be held in person at 9:30 AM and via Zoom at 7:00 PM each Tuesday through December 17th.
