Hello Church!

 

I invite you to pick up an Advent Devotional, Unto us a Child is Born,  from our church lobby. Journey  through Advent with spiritual thinker Henri Nouwen for whom a life of faith is a life of prayer. May these daily devotions during the weeks of Advent help form a lasting spiritual practice for you and your family.

 

Join us!

Pastor Carol
