Today is the second Sunday of Advent. We focused on longing for home and discovering that our true home is in the heart of God.
Isaiah wrote saying "Comfort Comfort O my people." Today find comfort in God who loves you and like a shepherd will carry you home.

Unfortunately we were not able to provide a Livestream of today's service. TC
