On this second Sunday
of advent 2018, we turn our attention to 1 Peter 3:13-17. The focus of the second
candle is love. In 1 Peter 3:13-17, Peter reminds us that we are always to be
ready to speak of the love of Christ, even when we are being mistreated. Please
join with your church family as we prepare to gather for worship on Sunday.
