Stay up to date!
From Sunday:

Anticipation. You may remember the old ketchup commercial where Carly Simon sings the song "Anticipation" while the ketchup slowly hangs in midair.
Anticipation is a joyful feeling, a feeling that should be full of surprise.
Are you excitedly anticipating the birth of Christ this year?
Our Advent Sermon Series is about the excitement, anticipation, and wonder of the very first Christmas. We are not going to go through the motions in worship. We are going to prepare ourselves to be surprised during Advent.
 
En Agape',  
Rev. Michael Weeks
