King for the Nations - Christmas 2011

The global church celebrates Christmas with a rich variety of cultural expressions. Jesus is truly a king for all nations. In this series, the college will be taking an imaginary journey around the world, dropping in on Christmas celebrations in three different countries.

The chapel series will include international guests, corporate worship, and musical performances.

Christmas at Bryan also features an art exhibit, concert, and a dinner.  Please see further details below.
  After listening to the king, they went on their way. And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh (Matthew 2:9-11 ESV).
