ONLINE WORSHIP THIS SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 29 @ 10:15AM: “I BELIEVE IN LOVE: DARING RIGHT RELATIONSHIPS” In both the Gospel of Matthew and the book of Isaiah, a messenger appears as a sign from God, heralding a new era. In each passage, the words “do not be afraid” appear… offering a clue that the messenger–whether prophet or angel–was referencing something that induced fear in the recipient. A new way of being together, of relating and loving takes courage–renouncing the present order of things so that a new and better day can be born. This service will include the choral anthem, "Love Has Broken Down the Walls," the Dreibelbeis family lighting the second candle of the Advent Wreath, and a hand bell benediction. Enjoy this service by clicking here to watch on Facebook or click here to watch on YouTube. You will be able to find the Service Order and Announcements here.
Join us after the service for a time of fellowship on Zoom for all who would like to catch up with old friends and make some new one. You may also call 312-626-6799 and enter meeting ID: 847 7717 6726!
