    Hey Sam–would love to pass on a sweet free resource that will be live in time for Advent at CrossroadsKidsClub.net. It’s an interactive, advent experience for families and it goes live on November 30.

    Right now, there are free Christmas resources available at CrossroadsKidsClub.net/Christmas. Not asking you to promote our site–or even post this comment–but we’d love for people to use these if they’re helpful. Really enjoy your site–thanks!
