This Sunday, the expectation ends … and the love story begins.
This is one of those rare Sundays where Advent IV and Christmas Eve fall on the same day. It is a glorious hinge where we will celebrate the annunciation and the final chords of Advent and then welcome the birth of Christ. It is a day for being together all day and deep into the night.
We will have one morning service, the Advent IV Service at 9 a.m.
This will be a bilingual Spanish/English service; Antonio Gallardo preaches; Dan Cole & the 1 p.m. ensemble offer music; Vox Cambiata offers Da Pacem Domine arr. by Beery.
