  1. Advent Sermon Series

We are following the various themes of Advent throughout the Christmas season. Last Sunday, November 30th, the first Sunday of Advent, Brian McConaghy from Ratanak spoke on offering hope to those whose lives have been broken and filled with a sense of hopelessness and helplessness. This Sunday we will be picking up on the theme of the second candle, the Bethlehem candle, representing peace. On December 21st we will be joining the Cantonese and Mandarin congregations for a joint Christmas service. The last Sunday of December we will be looking back over this last year as well as looking ahead, “Seeing Through the Eyes of Faith.” It will be an interactive service. Beginning in January we will be starting a new series, “Forging a Real World Faith.”
