Advent Series 2017
"Christmas With No Strings Attached!"
Why did Jesus make His appearance at Christmas? It was to teach us a new way to love- love with no strings attached. Join us for our Advent Wednesday worship services as we examine Jesus' radical love- love for a betrayer, for a denier, for deserters, for us!
Wednesdays December 6, 13, and 20 at 7:15 pm.
*Come at 6:30 pm before the service and enjoy pre-service dessert!
