The 2020 advent season was proving to be tough for so many of us. Our ‘Online Advent Calendar of Hope’ shared daily stories of hope in difficult times. Each day throughout December 2020, until Christmas Eve, we posted a 5 minute video story of hope from one of our congregation members on this page. We would love to invite you to watch them and find ‘hope in the darkness.’
