Advent Sermon Series
From Bethlehem with Love
Do you ever wonder if God's love can be lost? In our Advent sermon series, “From Bethlehem, with Love,” we use the book of Ruth to explore the depth of God's loyal love for his people.The love story of Ruth and Boaz prepares us for the arrival of their great-grandson, Jesus of Nazareth.
December Monthly Prayer Calendar will be available in the sanctuary.
