Third Sunday of Advent: December 13, 2020

December 13, 2020

Joy! Join us for our live-streamed service @ 10:30am

“If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. Give in to it…life has some possibility left… 
Joy is not made to be a crumb.” - Mary Oliver  

Advent 3 focuses on Joy of the Season. Worship will be led by Rev. Teresa Burnett-Cole, with our minister of Christian Development, Stephanie Langill, leading the children's time. James Caswell, our minister of music, and members of the choir Donna-Fay, Zoe, Crystal will lead us in music, along with Robert Palmai, emeritus minister of music.


Join in on the virtual offering plate for M&S, Outreach & GSJ operational needs! 

Though some members of the congregation will be attending GSJ in person, the livestream at the YouTube link below starts at around 10:15 am (announcements) for the 10:30am Sunday service. If the link does not work, then go directly to YouTube and view it from there or from our Facebook page. You will also be able to watch the service video at a later time at your convenience on YouTube.

Today, we remember that history. We remember Survivors. We remember the children who never returned home. We remember families and communities who continue to live with the consequences.
