Advent Series – The Heart That Grew Three SizesJoin us to explore the faith themes in the beloved Christmas story, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. This advent series is based on the new Advent study by Matt Rawle, The Heart That Grew Three Sizes. Through this story we will examine the change in the heart of the Grinch in result of relationship building. Through relationship building his heart grew and was transformed.
