Light for the Disillusioned
We look forward to our morning of worship this Christmas Eve morning. We’ll be wrapping up our Advent series, Light in the Darkness, with a sermon from Zephaniah. Pastor Jim Renke will help us understand the source of our disillusions. And we’ll see how Christ is the one who delivers us through his joyous love.
