🌟 ONLINE WORSHIP TODAY at 10:00 AM 🌟
Family, join us online as we gather for worship and the Word. Today’s sermon is titled “Navigating a Gap That Doesn’t Make Sense”, from Job 1:8—a timely reminder that even when life feels confusing, God is still sovereign and attentive to our faith.

If you’re in a season where things don’t add up, this Word is for you. There is purpose even in the gap, and God’s presence has not left you.

👉 Want to join us on Zoom?
Send us a DM and we’ll share the link with you. Invite someone and worship with us online today—God is still meeting us right where we are. 🙏🏾💙❤️💙❤️✨

✨ Light in the Land: When Justice Takes Flesh

This Advent, we’re declaring that God’s Light steps into real life — our struggles, our neighborhoods, our fight for justice.

Each week we lift up:

🌟 Hope that breaks into darkness
🕊 Peace that challenges injustice
💛 Joy that rises from resilience
❤️ Love that shows up for the people

Advent isn’t just waiting. It’s witnessing.
God’s Light is coming — right where we are.

✨ Join us this Advent season!
📍 Russell Chapel CME Church
🗓 Sundays @ 10 AM
ALL ARE WELCOME.
