Gary Church Podcast

Hey, y’all! Welcome to the Gary Church Podcast . . . from Gary Church, here in Wheaton, IL. We would love to have you worship with us! You may find more information about our next worship service at www.garychurch.org. This service, "Art of Advent," is one of music, art, and scripture.  We did not have a sermon but a reading of the Biblical salvation narrative through Advent scripture with the help of visual art and music. All of which makes it difficult to follow in a purely audio format. Thus, you are welcome to follow the links in the Show Notes to view the service . . . which we really hope you do! Thank you so much and my God bless you on this day!!!
