Have a Mary Christmas

This Sunday, as we continue our Advent celebration, we’ll consider Mary’s experience as she prepared for Christ’s coming. Pastor Jim Renke will lead us through Luke 1:45-49 and consider the role of true belief.  Belief in God’s promises is essential for experiencing the blessings of knowing Him.  We invite you to come share in the celebration.
