Greetings to you as we enter the season of Advent and Christmas. I hope and pray that you experience something new of God’s love, mercy and grace in these sacred weeks of waiting for and welcoming the coming of Jesus.
The first Sunday of Advent is November 27th. and we will light the candle of hope.
