Worship Series: Insisting on Hope
Every Christmas we light candles, sing carols, and pray for Christ’s coming because we believe God entered a frightened world to bring good news. We hold onto hope because we believe that Christ did come—that’s the promise of the season. Our hope is not flimsy or fleeting. It’s gritty, resilient, and can endure—no matter what we fear or face.
This season, let us insist on hope and trust that good news is greater than fear. Join us for worship beginning Sunday, November 30, whether in person or online as we Insist on Hope this Christmas season.
