Tonight, at our service of comfort and hope, we built the poinsettia tree in memory of those who have gone before.
May the God of hope fill our hearts and mind with #peace. Join us at 11am AST as we continue our #Advent sermon series, "What child is this?", inviting us to reflect on who Jesus is through messages shared by angels.
The youth may join J.A.M. (Jesus and Me) time and fellowship follows worship.
