Welcome to our Sunday Sermon podcast!  This sermon begins our Advent series.  Pastor Jo Ellen shares that Advent is a time to prepare and hope for the promise of Jesus's birth.  One of our movie pairings this week was "Spirited" in which the main character learns that one small good thing a day can make a big difference towards a better world.  In "It's A Wonderful Life,"  the main character learns the world is better with him in it.  The same can be said for you.  The promise of Christ gives us hope.  What are your hopes?
