First Sunday of Advent - Hope

May hope, peace, joy and love characterize the season for you and your loved ones.

The Advent sermon series will explore the idea of waiting. What happens when we wait for God’s hope, peace, joy, and love, and we just don’t experience it? Is there any purpose in waiting?

We begin Advent with the lighting of the Hope candle on Sunday, Dec 1st. Please join us for service in-person to mark the start of the season. It will be warm and cozy in the sanctuary, but as always, service will also be streamed live on our YouTube channel at 10am PST.
