      Advent Pray25: It’s a Wonderful Life
      Join Chris Pratt, Jonathan Roumie, Gary Sinise, Sr. Miriam, Fr. John Burns, and more as we journey through one of the greatest Christmas films of all time: It's a Wonderful Life. Over the 25 days leading up to Christmas, we’ll walk with the film’s main character, George Bailey, as he begins to open his eyes to the great beauty of his life and teaches us to do the same. Together we'll see that the truth of Christmas isn't the parties or presents, the carols or cookies. It's that God Himself has come to dwell among us, not just in a manger 2,000 years ago, but right here, right now. Join the waitlist now to start praying with us on November 30th!
