Today is the first Sunday in Advent, kicking off a sermon series focused on the film “It’s a Wonderful Life” and its connections to the lessons of our familiar Christmas story. In particular, what does this film and its ups and downs have to say to us during this waiting time? What hope can be found within the hurry and chaos of preparing for the holidays?
NOVEMBER 13, 2016: “What’s Next” (Post-Election Sunday)
This sermon considers the Bible’s wisdom for changing times (even scary times) and considers how the church is called to be a witness on November 9 — when the powers that be go through transition, who are we called to be in the world?
Welcoming New Members!
NOVEMBER 6, 2016: “Faith Come Alive” (All Saints)

Today’s sermon explores the meaning of All Saints Day more in depth.
