Please join us for worship on this First Sunday of Advent. Pastor Greg Emery will be our special guest, preaching on Matthew 24:36-44. Pastor Emery has been working with our church, and particularly our PNC, during this time of transition.
If you are worshipping remotely and you have an Advent wreath, it would be appropriate for you to have it set up and ready to light along with us, as a reminder that God’s light shines everywhere. Live stream link: https://youtu.be/Smn-9-SZIhQ
