welcome December 3, 2017 In this Advent season, we are looking at the theme of God's promise of better days for our lives. That is the hope of Advent and Christmas: God has done something in Christ that changes everything. This is the idea of God's promises of better days, promises that all eventually find their fulfillment in the coming of Jesus Christ. Pastor Jim Beavers is preaching while I am away today. Merry Christmas! — Randy Keasler, Pastor
