Please note that we had a technical issue with our sound on Sunday December 3 with our live-streaming. Only the first part of the service is audible. We apologioze and have identified the issue.

We hope you will continue to join us for worship either in-person or online during this season of Advent!

In Advent, we wait for you: God the Maker, Jesus the storyteller, Holy Spirit of life. In Advent we cry to you: God of justice, Jesus of Bethlehem, Holy Spirit of Hope. In Advent we long for you. You, God, are our love, our warmth, our light. (R. Burgess, Iona.)
