- Advent Jazz Vespers “In the Crib” – Virtual Worship will be released online Wednesdays, December 2, 9, and 16. As we come to the end of a year filled with conflicts, threats to our safety, and changes in our way of life, our mid-week Advent services will invite us to embrace the comfort and joy of “God with us” in the CRIB that includes our home, our church, and Bethlehem’s manger.
- Advent Devotions – In trying times, Christian hope doesn’t ignore fear, anxiety, and doubt; it confronts them. It holds steady, clinging to peace in the midst of chaos. Living Hope is a 28-day series of Advent devotions available electronically. You are also invited to participate in an informal discussion group on the material Sundays at 9:30 am during December. To receive the devotions and learn more about the optional discussion group, contact Anne and Bill Harpster at harpster77@hotmail.com.
