What Savior?

Viewing the Christmas Story in the context of the rule of the Roman Empire opens up a fresh angle on how people of the time might have seen the birth of Jesus.  What were those people hoping for? What is it that we hope for as we search for good leaders? Mark Slawson will provide our music.

The Unwrapped Gift

Deep into the gift-buying and gift-giving season, the news becomes full of information about how many people are shopping and where the bargains can be found. This sermon will take a different look at the “thrill of the hunt” many people find in Christmas shopping. Frank Piekut will be our soloist.

 Light for Long Nights

We hold this short service for those who are not feeling Christmas cheer as much as loneliness or loss; those who seek a quiet way to rest in the promises of the season. Susannah Thornton will be our soloist. (This service will not be live-streamed.)
