Message: OTC #10 - What’s Up With That? (Pastor Jeff)Offering: KBHZ
Welcome to Unity Church!
May the light of Christ shine on each one of us this day. God’s love reaches to the heavens and his faithfulness stretches to the skies. As his people, we have been invited to celebrate in that love and rest in that faithfulness.
We are celebrating this Advent Season by taking a journey through “The Places of Christmas.” Each Sunday from now through Christmas we will remember the places where God’s people traveled as they awaited the promised Messiah. Each week we will hang a banner to represent a place, and light a candle to remind us that the Light of the World has come and is coming again.
