12-14-25 Announcements
Today was the third week of our "Welcome the Stranger." Advent series, and we discussed the theme of joy.
A huge thank you to Scott and Holly Madden, who created a special video production of the song God Bless the Immigrant that we shared at the end of service today to highlight our conversation about the importance of the joyous message of Jesus' birth being announced to the shepherds.
If you would like to listen to this song again, you can click here to watch the video that Holly and Scott shared.
If you were not able to join us in person this week for our worship service, you can watch the full recorded service below:

We had some people ask if we could make an edit of just the sermon from today so that they could share it with friends. You can find that video on our YouTube channel by clicking here.
