Daily Readings for Christmas Week

Discussion Questions for the week

Who in your family is most interested in genealogy?

What family stories have been passed down to you?

Acting on the Word

Ask others in your family what family stories are most important to them. (Or, ask your friends this same questions). How is/was God at work in those stories?

Daily Readings

Tuesday-Friday’s readings concern the women mentioned in Matthew’s genealogy of Jesus (the Matthew 1 reading). It is very rare for women to be named in genealogical lists in the Bible. Matthew no doubt wanted those reading or hearing his Gospel to remember their stories.

*On Thursday, if you have time, you may want to read all of the book of Ruth for the fuller story.  (It’s an engaging, easy read)
