"Words of Advent" From Pastor Rob

Hope, Peace, Joy, Love

When did these become the words of Advent?

Life is right for one who has these, but what else is needed? What more comes?

What about Faith, Grace, Mercy, and Justice?

What about Truth, Holiness, Resurrection, and New Creation?

Are these subsumed under Hope, Peace, Joy, Love?

The words of Advent

Do prescribed scripture readings walk in step, languidly with the words of Advent

or do they bump into one another and step on one another’s toes?

Christmas Eve Services

Because of the way the calendar falls this year, we have the unusual opportunity for two services to celebrate Christmas on the 24th.

Join us on Sunday morning at 11am , then come again at 5pm for an evening of carol singing and candlelight worship of the birth of our Savior. Invite your family friends & neighbors to either or both services.
