Advent and Christmas 2025
"What Do You Fear? Insisting on Hope This Advent" by A Sanctified Art
Sunday Morning Worship
Each week’s service will include music, carols, and Advent candle lighting. Our sermon series, "What Do You Fear? Insisting on Hope This Advent" by A Sanctified Art. Jesus was born into a world of fear and uncertainty- just like ours. Yet the angels declared, "Do not fear." This Advent, we choose hope: not flimsy or fragile, but strong enough to outshine our fears.
