Part I of the Advent Sermon Series "Once Upon an Advent"
Sermon by the Rev. Elizabeth N.H. Link from the first Sunday of Advent, November 30, 2025.
"No matter where we are or how we feel this Advent Sunday, God is still telling the same story: • Hope doesn’t wait for perfect conditions. • Hope grows in unexpected places. • Hope shines through ordinary things touched by love. • Hope is God’s quiet, stubborn insistence that the story is not over."
