This Is Our
Christmas Story
A FAMILY KEEPSAKE JOURNAL
Gather your family around God’s Word every Christmas.
Over the years, many in our community have shared a desire for a tangible way to connect with your loved ones around God’s Word at Christmastime.
Scripture, Stories, and Special Memories
Alongside the full text of Matthew 1–2 and Luke 1–2, you’ll find repeating journal spreads with prompts to help you capture the moments that make each Christmas special.
There’s also space to add family photos, favorite recipes, Christmas cards, children’s drawings, or even a favorite piece of wrapping paper to create a keepsake your family will treasure for generations.
AVAILABLE SEPTEMBER 22, 2026
Christmas Day invites us to slow down. Connect.
Celebrate with the people we love.
But somewhere between opening gifts and sharing holiday meals, many of us still long for a more intentional way to keep Christ at the center of it all.
You may be longing for…
A simple way to read the story of Jesus’s birth together every Christmas.
A tradition everyone can take part in—from toddlers to grandparents.
A place to preserve photos, favorite recipes, and all the little things that help make the season special to your family.
A keepsake that tells your family’s Christmas story, year after year.
If this resonates with you, This Is Our Christmas Story was created with your family in mind.
Your Family’s Story Matters
God’s faithfulness isn’t only found in the pages of Scripture. His faithfulness is also at work in the story of our own families—often in ways we don’t recognize.
Until we take time to look back.
This Is Our Christmas Story invites your family to read the story of Jesus’s birth, record your own Christmas story, and see God’s faithfulness in both.
