The World Is about to Turn – God Is with Us!


The World Is about to Turn – God Is with Us! This Sunday is also Lessons and Carols Sunday. Listen to a prologue from Karen Bryant Shipp and poems by Oakhurst member and poet Lynn Farmer, about…Santa??? Wait a minute! isn’t Santa a secular figure? What’s Santa doing in an Advent worship service? Aren’t we supposed to be talking about the baby Jesus and God and–well, something sacred? To find out what’s going on, listen!

“Waiting for the Bus”
