A new year does not have to mean big changes or perfect plans. Growth often happens through small, faithful moments repeated over time.

At LifeWise Academy, students are learning that character is shaped by everyday choices like kindness, honesty, and self control.

What is one simple habit you hope to carry into this year with your child?

✨In Europe, the Christkindlmarkt (Christ Child Market) is a street market that celebrates Christmas during the four weeks of Advent. These Christmas markets date from the late Middle Ages. Today, Christkindlmarkts are held in numerous German-speaking areas. Traditionally held in the town square, the markets offer food, drinks, and seasonal items for sale from open-air stalls, accompanied by traditional singing and dancing.​

And now we have one nearby in Berne, IN. Check it out this weekend!

The time has come! Tower LifeCenter in Zanesville lights up the dark every night between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day for an amazing light show and some hot chocolate from Cocoa Corner. Living lights is their annual ministry that takes place during the Holiday season. From Thanksgiving through Christmas to New Years, we have a Christmas Light Show that is geared to spread the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of our Messiah, Jesus Christ. Not only is the light show fantastically entertaining and the Gospel shared, but they also have special showings on the weekends where we provide Christmas cookies and hot cocoa for those who pull in to attend a showing of the Living Lights show.
