WELCOME TO WORSHIP!
Meditation thought for worship: The Gospel of John describes Jesus as the true light coming into the world. So we light candles the four weeks before Christmas, and reflect on the coming of Christ—as a baby in a manger, and a Savior who can transform our lives. During this Advent season, let us open the dark places in our lives to the healing light of Christ. Let us feel the creative power of God’s hope as we walk together into the light.
