This Week's Resources
On this page you can find resources for your 'personal study' each week.
ADVENT SERMON SERIES
This advent I will be using material from www.adventconspiracy.org
Advent Conspiracy was founded on the radical idea that we can celebrate Christmas humbly, beautifully, and generously. Advent is the story of a wondrous moment when God entered our world to make things right. It is the greatest story ever told and it changes everything—including the way we celebrate Christmas.
I pray you will join us each Sunday in December in person or on-line at our Facebook Page @ 10 AM.
