Dear Friends in Faith,
Welcome to our worship service this morning. It is the third week of Advent: the week we consider God’s LOVE for all persons on the earth. Take some precious moments this week to consider the LOVE that God has for you: “for you are fearfully and wonderfully made!”
Peace and all good, Pastor Deborah
