Welcome all to our first service of the Advent season! Cornerstone United Methodist is excited to have you in worship with us today. Today we will be worshipping with our praise band leading us in “Lift Your Head Weary Sinners”, “Amazing Grace – My Chains are Gone”, “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen”, and “Come, Thou Long Awaited Jesus”. Our scripture today comes from the book of Galatians, chapter 5, verse 1. We’re also excited to have a special advent reading presented by Mrs. Kay Shaw and Mrs. Dale Harrell. Our message today is the first in our advent series “A Dickens of Christmas” and is presented by Rev. Dr. Brian Germano. The message, titled “The Chains We Forge”, explores breaking free of the things that hold us down. Thank you for worshipping with us!
