Our sermon series follows the lighting of the Advent Wreath, with its four candles -- and promises -- of Hope, Faith, Joy, and Peace, followed by the Christ Candle on Christmas Eve, the promise of love. We will be pairing the Nativity Stories with the stories in Genesis. Both contain ancient promises of how we can begin again.
