~please be patient with any miscellaneous noise at the beginning of the sermon~

I decided to work my way through Advent this year making use of the names of the individual Sundays, i.e. the sermon for this week is on Hope; next week Peace, etc. I have never really tried this before but I think it is more than worth trying something different now and then, especially with something as familiar as the rhythms of Advent. Your comments and input are especially valuable in this process as it is something new to me.

Warm regards,

B
