The Sermon for our Advent Midweek Service on Weds, Dec. 4 was based on the hymn "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" (shown in the picture) along with God's Word in Psalm 80 and Matthew 1:18-25.

This is the historic "Antiphon" which is the basis of  v. 1 of the hymn: “O Emmanuel, our King and our Lord, the anointed for the nations and their Savior:  Come and save us, O Lord our God!”

The sermon for the First Sunday in Advent was entitled "Advent Gratitude" and was based on Zechariah 9:9: “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion. Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem. Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”
