Worship Service - December 8

(We had technical difficulties this day and were unable to record or broadcast the worship service. We apologize for the inconvenience! Below is the order of worship and links to engage.)

Meditation thought for worship: We always think we know what we want to do, but our vision is so limited, that if we only ever stuck to our plans and preferences, we would miss out on the abundant life God invites us to live. So don’t settle for boring and routine. Let the call of Jesus save you from being normal.
