Advent FLASHLIGHT: gatherHOPE

Today we enter the season of Advent - four weeks leading tp to Christmas where we retrace the ancient longing for good news in what is too often a bad news world and join with expressing our own ache for the life and light of God's love. The ancient people of God looked forward to the day when God will gather the people of the world to walk in His light because of Jesus; today, we we prepare to celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus, we seek strength and hope in God's loving voice as we gather together to worship Him.
