Rev. Jesse Larson led today’s service, which marked the third Sunday in Advent. The Advent wreath—featuring the candle of joy—was lit and Rev. Jesse’s message focused on Mary’s experience as an expectant parent. Jim Guida will present the children’s message. Guitarist and singer Peter Baird was today’s guest musician. The scripture reading was Luke 1:26-38.
Hymns, accompanied by pianist Natalya Amelchenko, included:
O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
Angels We Have Heard On High
Lo, How a Rose E’re Blooming
While We Are Waiting, Come
Comfort Now, My People
