01 Dec 2024 "On the Way to Bethlehem: Hope" Luke 2:1-3, Romans 8:18-25

This 1st Sunday of Advent we enter a series that will take us through to Christmas Eve called, "On the Way to Bethlehem". We explore what it means to journey in hope, peace, joy and love towards the manger and Emmanuel (God With Us). We start today in Rome: A Place of Longing.
As we pilgrimage through this series, we will consider what transformation happens within each of us along the way as we follow God's Way.
