Advent 3: Joy Is Not a Feeling

Today is the fourth Sunday of Advent, but includes our third Advent message. This morning, Will Dyer shared on the Advent theme of Joy. Please note that our fourth and final Advent message will be delivered on Christmas Eve at 4:30PM in the Bethel CRC building on Davis Drive (the church on the north side at Lorne Avenue). We look forward to seeing you there for carols, readings, and a message about the final Advent theme of Love.

Please find the slide deck for this week's teaching here.
