Sunday Celebration Service with guest speaker Rev. Barbara Williams "The Advent of Joy"

Join us on Sunday, December 21st at 10:30 am for our Celebration Service with the heart-centered guest speaker Rev. Barbara Williams. Christine Mariani will be musically accompanying this uplifting service with her angelic voice and inspirational music.
I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. John 15:11
Two-thousand years ago, Mary and Joseph made a very difficult, arduous journey to the city of Bethlehem. Mary was with Child. You can imagine how difficult and challenging that journey was. Perhaps our journey right now feels difficult and maybe at times joyless. Yet it is in our choice and power to find the joy that opens us to the possibilities of this season. In fact, you are destined to do it – to give birth to that Christ Child in your daily actions and reactions. This Sunday we are taking the same journey Mary and Joseph took. It is difficult. It is challenging. It is not always easy to be human, but we can do it. That is why we’re here. We can endure that journey and give birth to a pure form of Christ love and joy in our hearts.
