Worship
Sundays at 10:15 AM in-person and onlineA Promise of Peace
Advent, this ‘getting ready’ season, can so easily become a season that is all about doing. At home people are cleaning, getting out their Christmas decorations, purchasing a tree, baking, hosting, and attending parties and simply getting ready for Christmas.
So what a relief to come to worship on the second Sunday of Advent and hear the Promise of Peace. Except… that in today’s passage, we hear a fiery preacher, John the Baptist, and his message doesn’t sound so peaceful at all. But listen carefully! I think he is onto something! John demands that we get ready for Jesus with a different kind of preparation that calls us to examine our lives, our values, and our priorities. Join us.
Sunday worship begins at 10:15AM.
Join us in person in our sanctuary or watch online via Zoom, Facebook or YouTube Live.
