Advent Bible Study
Hidden in Plain Sight: Searching for the Holy Family in the Midst of Our Busy Lives
Beginning November 29, we’ll journey through Pieter Bruegel’s The Census at Bethlehem, discovering how Mary, Joseph, and the Christ Child can be overlooked amid the bustle of ordinary life, and how God continues to appear in unexpected places today.
Week 1
“The Village That Didn’t Notice”
Scripture: Luke 2:1–7
Theme: God arrives quietly while the world is preoccupied.
Week 2
“The People on the Margins Who Did Notice”
Scripture: Luke 2:8–20
Theme: The shepherds, the overlooked, the exhausted, the night-shift workers, saw what others missed.
Week 3
“The Holy Family in the Middle of Real Life”
Scripture: Matthew 2:13–15
Theme: The incarnation is not sentimental. It’s gritty, disruptive, and deeply human.
Week 4
“Making Room: The Practice of Noticing”
Scripture: John 1:14
Theme: The Word became flesh and moved into the neighborhood.
How to Participate
- Read the Weekly Reflection. A new study guide and devotional reflection will be posted each Friday.
- View the Artwork. Spend time with the details of Bruegel’s painting and consider the weekly questions.
- Join the Conversation. Share your insights, questions, and responses in the online discussion area.
- Pray and Reflect. Complete the week’s spiritual practice and carry it with you throughout Advent.
No prior Bible study experience is required. Participate whenever your schedule allows and engage as much or as little as you wish throughout the week.
Each week’s study guide, the recording of our Zoom session, and the discussion all live in our online Bible study. The first study guide will be posted there on November 29. Stop by now to read how it works and create your free account.

Ordinary Time
Like George Bailey, Carol Madere once expected an extraordinary life. A book on the liturgy of the ordinary helped her see each average day as a gift from God.
