Restoration for the Week

NEW SERMON SERIES

As we settle into the winter months, daylight seems fleeting and night seems to come faster each day. The song is true, “Baby, it’s cold outside!” But into this reality steps a deeper reality, an eternal reality, “The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” This season of Advent we will explore the eternal nature of the Light of the World who is Jesus, the Messiah, through the prophecies of the Old Testament and the fulfillment in the New. Join us as we prepare for The Coming (aka Advent) of the “Light of the World.”

The Longest Night:

A service for those looking for the light of Christ

Tuesday, 12/21

7:30-8:30pm

Advent is a season of waiting for Christ's return and longing for things to be made right. For many, this time of year makes losses sting even more. This contemplative service is an opportunity to bring our grief, sadness, and anger to the Lord through music and prayer.

Contact Bill Moore with any questions.
