Sing ‘N Celebrate, Celebrating Advent
December 6 at 5-6pm in the Fellowship Hall
As part of our Advent Journey, join us as we focus on another, most difficult journey which brought Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem, where we feature the reaction of an innkeeper and his wife who had nothing but a stable to offer to this special couple. Hope was born in the midst of disappointment.
We are looking forward to hearing the Christmas praise music of the new band which will be auditioning.
