Join us on December 1, as Rev. Dr. Craig Alwin leads us in 9 am worship with Communion with the sermon, “Stand Up Straight.” Here are a few things to consider in preparation for worship on Sunday.
- Where do we find true hope? Do we find it in the things of this world or things of the kingdom? What are examples of each?
- How do we find hope from the resurrection as we celebrate the birth of Christ?
God’s Word Is Proclaimed
