Message: The Joy of Expectation
Text: Luke 1: 39-45 (46-55)
As we gather on the Fourth Sunday of Advent, Luke invites us to witness the powerful moment when Mary, carrying Jesus, visits Elizabeth, and joy leaps within them. In this sacred meeting, we experience the joy of expectation – a joy that is more than a feeling, a joy rooted in faith that God’s promises are near fulfillment. Mary’s song, the Magnificat, resounds with hope for a world transformed. Advent reminds us that we, too, are called to live with this same joyful expectation.
You may continue bringing donations of canned goods & other nonperishable food items to church.
Please join us for Christmas Eve Worship Service:
Tuesday, December 24th, 7:00pm

Visions & Values
~ Worship Series for Epiphany 2024 ~
We begin the new year with the new vision statement of our CA-NV Annual Conference: “Following Jesus, Thriving in Community, Healing the World.”
Our hope is that, guided by this vision, a visible movement of healing will arise from within our conference and that our future testimonies will declare that God is still at work in and through us, and that God “is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.”
Indeed, with God, all things are possible.

January 14: “Thriving in Community” … Acts 2: 42-47
