Worship with us this Sunday!

It's the fourth Sunday of Advent - Love! It's patient, kind...It's all you need! It's what makes the world go round. Please join us for worship-Traditional Worship at 9:30am; Informal Worship at 11:00am.* Our scriptures are Micah 5:2-5a and Luke 1:39-55 with a sermon entitled Mary's Love Song. Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth-who is also pregnant. Mary sings about what is happening in and through her...and what it means for the ways we experience and share love.

Inspiration
Zimbabwean Discipleship Prayer
Lord, I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am your disciple. I won't look back, let up, bow down, back away, or be still. I am finished with low-living, sight-walking, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking, cheap living, and dwarfed goals. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of despair, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won't give up, shut up, or let up until I have stored up, prayed up and preached up for the cause of Christ. Amen.
