Advent Sermon Series: “A Light Has Dawned: Seeking the Hidden Meaning of Christmas,” Through December 21
The series gathers around the assumption that our culture has become increasingly secular and the message of Christmas is increasingly hidden. This series seeks to highlight and put forth the “glad tidings of great joy” that are often drowned out in the growing volume of secular and commercial messaging, with the hope that there is new messaging and Advent life in store for all of us, no matter where we are in our relationship with the newborn child.
