Worship Sneak Peek
Join us this Sunday (12/3) as we enter our Advent season of anticipating Christmas.
Through our Advent series, The Redemption of Scrooge, we will ring out the truth
of God’s economy – where “making change” has nothing to do with monetary success,
and everything to do with transformation. Could you use a transformation for your
life?
This week’s theme, Bah Humbug! Making Change, juxtaposes the world’s “economy” and
God’s desire for peace and justice for all people – especially those on the margins.
What is the price for looking out for “our own” and what is the benefit to “making
change” in the ways God invites us?
