November 25 News
First Sunday in Advent - November 29
The holiday season can be an emotional time for many people even in the best of circumstances, but as we enter this unprecedented "COVID Christmas" season, feelings of despair and hopelessness abound.

During this season of Advent (which starts November 29), we will be exploring the concept of HOPE. Psalm 62 says, "Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from Him." Why, then, do we so often find ourselves feeling hopeless? Where does Christmas fit into finding hope? Join us Sunday mornings during Advent as we rediscover the "Hope of Christmas."
