We Need LOVE More Than Ever

We Need LOVE More Than Ever

Isaiah 35:1-10
December 15, 2019
Rev. Gregory D. Cox

Let us pray:
Ever present God, you taught us that the night is far spent and the day is at hand. Grant that we may ever be found watching for the coming of your Son. Save us from undue love of the world that we may wait with patient hope for the day of the Lord, and so abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may not be ashamed; we ask this through the one who will be our Joy, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
