Get the most out of the service by asking about our special listening devises.²
Pick up one in the back or see an usher for help. If yours isn’t working property, don’t be bashful about raising your hand to ask for assistance.
Throughout Advent, our morning worship services will include Advent candles, readings, banners, and special messages. This year’s Advent theme is “PARABLES OF PROMISE”. Jesus says his parables are about the mysteries of the kingdom. But these familiar “riddles” – about mustard seeds and buried treasure, wheat and tares and fishing nets – also have much to teach about the kingdom’s mysterious King and the people who follow him. Let’s prepare our hearts together for this special season.
