ADVENT SING ‘N CELEBRATE
DECEMBER 1st AT 7 PM
On this first Sunday of Advent, may the busyness of our world slow to a more peaceful pace, so we can pay closer attention to the coming of our Lord.
We hope you can join us as we wait and celebrate together in joyful anticipation!
Sermon December 1: Sing Out the Joy –Isaiah 42:10-17
Advent is a time to take stock of the fact that Joy comes to the world because the Lord has come. Isaiah foretold that when the Messiah came, He would give us JOY in the midst of the harshness of life.
I wonder can we find the joy in the midst of the events in our economy, in a marriage gone sour, in a nation that is conflicted?
Let’s discover the joy the Lord will bring.
“Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise from the ends of the earth…”
(Isaiah 42:10)
