This Sunday, Rayshawn Graves will begin ourAdvent series titled “He Shall Be Called”. This week’s passage will be Isaiah 9: 1-7 . Last week’s sermon can be heard here. If you’re planning to watch online check us out this week on Facebook Live Sunday morning at 10:30am
We want to encourage you to take a moment this week as you prepare for our time together on Sunday by reading and praying through the passages.
Consider thinking through these four questions as you read and pray.
How can I adore God from this passage?
What sin does this passage lead me to confess?
How does this passage help me to thank Jesus?
From this passage, in what ways can I ask God's Spirit to help me this week?
The elders are continuing to monitor the updates by the CDC and our Governor concerning precautions for our gatherings. At this time, our services will continue to be mask-optional. We will continue to provide updates if things change going forward.
We do ask that if you or anyone in your household has recently been ill or is currently experiencing symptoms of illness, please stay at home. By doing this, you will be loving others well and protecting the most vulnerable among us.
Please be mindful of the comfort levels of others during our gatherings.
Hand sanitizers and disinfectant wipes will be stationed throughout the building

Why Your Church Needs Advent This Year So why bother with Advent? That’s like asking why we need to long for Christ’s return. Harrison Warren again expresses it perfectly: “To practice Advent is to lean into an almost cosmic ache: our deep, wordless desire for things to be made right and the incompleteness we find in the meantime.”
Isaiah's Hope of Dawn: An Advent Reflection for The Weary This gracious God, Creator of light, order, and beauty also created the darkness (Isa 45:7). But do not be confused, children of God: the light will win and, in the process, serve as a poignant contrast against the night.
As Advent Begins, Here Are Ten Vital Truths About The Incarnation of Jesus With the Advent season here, it is always edifying to think about the glorious fact that God became a man and was, as the hymnwriter so well puts it, born to raise the sons of earth, born to give them second birth.
