The Wayside Podcast

Welcome back to the Wayside Podcast!

This week's sermon comes from our Traditional Services. The Rev. Dr. Russell J. Levenson Jr., our Rector, leads us into the first Sunday of the season of Advent - a season of waiting for Jesus' coming at Christmas. How do we respond to the adversity inherent in waiting on the Lord? And how does God meet us there?
