Greetings from Pastor John
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and I am grateful to step into the Advent season with you. We will be doing a series through Advent called “Proclamation!” We will be looking at four areas where Jesus was proclaimed. We will look at the ideas that Christ will come into the world, that Christ has come to the world; and that Christ will come again.
This week we will look at Isaiah 9:2-7, that Jesus will be coming into the world.
See you Sunday!
John

and the fullest possible communication of all his
