WEEKLY REFLECTION
Be Watchful, The Lord is Coming!
11-30-2025 | Very Rev. Richard C. Wilson, VF, PastorDear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Today is the First Sunday of Advent, a time of waiting and preparation for the coming of Christ. His historic coming took place two thousand years ago. Jesus was born, lived, suffered, died and rose again on this earth, in our history. And in this way, he offered redemption to all mankind that had been lost in sin.
