If the Christmas season seems like one long night, where can you find hope?
THE BRINGER is a 9 minute story-poem dramatized into real life for all people and all times.
However, this original work is created especially for anyone feeling low during the holiday season, for anyone experiencing a time of sadness at any time in their life, or for anyone seeking to help and understand a loved one going through such a time.
The message is one of contrasts of--
-hope with despair,
-moving into tomorrow when it seems no way forward,
-finding faith in the midst of doubt,
-hearing and bearing the Good News in a way that honors who we are and where we've been.
We invite you to watch again and again, share this around, and let us know what you think.
The Bringer is brought to you by DisciplesNet, seeking to share the Good News of God's Love with the World.
With gratitude to the amazing work of Vicarious Visions Entertainment in video production, and especially to writer/producer Amy Grogan, who has lifted this message of hope from her own soul to share with the world.

People around the world are in shock and sadness at the terrible shattering of peace and loss of lives by terrorists in Paris, France on November 13, 2015.
DisciplesNet--a church along the internet highways, shares our condolences and our love. And we also send this gift, a video created and humbly offered to bring a sense of God's presence and desire for peace, even in such devastating times.
The "Prayer for Peace" we have adapted is often attributed to St. Francis, but now thought by many to have instead originated from within France around 1912.
Thank you for joining us. We hope that this video brings a sense of peace, and if it did, that you will share it around and let us know.
Peace and grace to you,
DisciplesNet Church
