There was not much to love about the stormy weather outside, but for the brave souls in worship Sunday, December 18, 2016 (also know as Advent IV or Love Sunday), the music, readings and meditation made the morning special.
If you missed the service, we record all our services on CD, which can be borrowed from the library in the Church Hall.
