Advent 2024
Angelic Announcements
What does God’s voice sound like? As modern people, we might not hear trumpets coming from the clouds, but we believe God still speaks. This Christmas season, we will hear the voice of God in the words of the angels announcing the coming of the Messiah. We will celebrate the voice of hope, the proclamation of presence, and the arrival of God’s love in our midst.
We invite you to scroll through the special opportunities below, and choose some that will help you experience the season and make special memories this Christmas.
