Our Advent mid-week worship series is entitled “Interviews with Isaiah”. 
Have you ever wondered what the prophet Isaiah would say to us
today?  In INTERVIEWS WITH ISAIAH, a special, fresh and innovative series of
worship services for Advent, you will find out! In each service the character of Isaiah will address the congregation and explain the meaning and background behind his most well-known prophecies about the coming of Christ.  These interactive services involve both words and images that help us to learn more about our Savior as we anticipate during Advent the celebration of his birth at
Christmas.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5TH – 7:30 P.M.  In THE LIGHT, Isaiah reveals insights about Christ, who came to lighten our dark world of sin with his love.
