THIS SUNDAY'S SERVICE
|
|
ADVENT BEGINS this Sunday. Already the holiday rush is upon us, and we urge you to just call “time out” in the frenzy of your lives. Take a peaceful pause at 11 a.m. Sunday morning in our sanctuary. Feel the hope of Advent as the first candle is lit and we sing hymns and hear scriptures appropriate to the occasion. I will preach from a passage in the gospel of Mark. Many people are away and traveling, so if you are here, we need you to come praise, worship and thank the Lord our God! Peace, Larry
