This is the First Sunday of the Advent Season, and the first week in our worship series, "How Does a Weary World Rejoice?" Throughout the Advent and Christmas Seasons, we will be exploring the relationship between weariness and joy, and how the birth of Christ invites us to bring our full humanity to God and relationships with one another. This week, the sermon topic is "We Acknowledge Our Weariness."

Special music this morning is "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel," shared by the Bell Choir.
