We continue to listen for the voice of the prophet. It turns out, the cry is not one for a warrior-king, but for a shepherd, carrying each one, a lamb in gentle arms. It is a cry for peace.
Join the UPC community online for Advent Evening worship. Videos premiere at 10:45 AM, but we recommend watching as evening falls— and together, we kindle light in the darkness. You are invited!
