OUR ADVENT WORSHIP SERIES
This year, we're all craving a more familiar Christmas than last year and the other seasons that 2020 and 2021 have had to offer. As we prepare for Christmas with decorations, traditions, and our favorite Christmas carols, let's not forget that we find constant hope, love, joy, and peace through Christ!
As we anticipate Christmas, we will focus on 5 familiar Christmas tunes and discover how they are tied to Scripture. Maybe the next time you hear these songs it will be in a new way.
