The Divine Service for the Fourth Sunday in Advent (December 18, 2022)

“Preparing for Immanuel” – Matthew 1:18-25

The 8:00 service today will be a regular service where we will hear the Advent preparations God had with Joseph so that he would carry out God’s will for him to be the earthly father for Jesus.

The 10:15 service will be our Sunday School Christmas program featuring the Christmas story told by our Pre-K to 6th grade students. The recorded service is linked below. It is recommended that you turn on YouTube’s closed captioning to better capture what the children are saying. Sometimes, they speak too quickly for us to understand them (very normal with nervous children!). The captions are automatically generated, so the words are not always correct, but usually close enough to understand the message.

One of the services will be live-streamed on our YouTube channel. The processed video will be linked on this page when the hymn texts are added.
