		<description><![CDATA[Every year, sometime around Thanksgiving, Christmas music starts and doesn't end until after new years.  Some songs are silly, while others have meaning and purpose.  This year we're going to look at Christmas songs in a different light... what does the Bible say about what our attitude should be during this holiday time.  Join us as we look at three popular songs and find the true meaning of Christmas.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Webster’s dictionary defines unreasonable as: exceeding the bounds of reason or moderation.  Unreasonable moves us from the safe and predictable to the risky and unexpected.  Unreasonable is extravagant. It’s over the top. It’s outside the box. It’s more than we could ever imagine. Join us this weekend at Fairfax Community Church as we celebrate a God who exceeds the bounds of reason and moderation and invites us to live extravagant, exhilarating, unreasonable lives. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 1965 a half-hour Christmas show entitled A Charlie Brown Christmas first appeared on TV.  Appointed director of the holiday school pageant, Charlie Brown ventures out with Linus to buy the perfect artificial Christmas tree.  Instead they bring back a pathetic little tree...a real one.  The whole experience leaves Charlie Brown feeling depressed and lonely...some of the same emotions that many of us feel as we navigate through the demands of a season driven by shopping, parties and expectations that often go unmet. Join us for a three-week series entitled "A Better Than Perfect Christmas" as we look at what it means to be real in a world preoccupied with the pursuit of perfection. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Love, the word so ubiquitous in our culture that it has lost much of its meaning.  We love everything – our kids, our house, our new car, our favorite team, Starbucks coffee. What does it mean when we say we love something or when someone says they love us? What does love really look like? The advent (coming) of Christ into the world 2,000 years ago reminds us that love has a name – and his name is Jesus. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every January many of us experience something that could only be described as “Christmas remorse.” We go into the Christmas season saying, “It’s going to be different this year. I’m going to slow down. I’m going to stay within my budget. I’m going to focus on the real meaning of Christmas.” Then January comes and we are exhausted, feeling further away from God than we did before the Christmas season.]]></description>
