Sunday, December 8: The Second Sunday of Advent – Worship

We continue our countdown to Jesus’ birth by lighting the second candle of the Advent Wreath.  From his prison cell John the Baptist wonders if Jesus is the long expected Messiah.  Jesus’ coming is God trying yet again the reach out to God’s people.  God is trying something totally new and different.  God trying again gives us all the courage to try again.
