Watch.
Linda’s message on this first Sunday of Advent invites us to watch for signs of God’s hope waiting to be born amidst the uncertainties of life. Worship is rooted in Gregory Porter’s Take Me To The Alley & Matthew 24:36-44.
Peace
Linda’s message is rooted in Micah 5.1-5a. How might we open to the thin places of God’s deep peace as we prepare for the Advent of God’s new reality?
