Advent Events
Jesus the Greatest Gift Sermon Series
Who are the people that witness the miracle
of Jesus' birth in Bethlehem? What are their stories?
We'll hear from Elizabeth (Mary's cousin and the mother
of John the Baptist), one of the wise men who followed the star from the East to bring gifts to the newborn Jesus, and from the midwife who helped Mary during her labor. We'll prepare our hearts, minds and spirits to receive the Christ child into our midst.
Join us as we focus on the reason for our celebration this season!
