Our 10:30 Worship Service began with our pianist Catalin Dima playing various beautiful hymns.
Dr. Frank Alegria led the service with a welcome to all members, regular attenders, and visitors. The altar flowers were given to the Honor and Glory of God.
The First Advent Candle – The Candle of Hope was lit by Charlotte Barker and the passage explaining the significance of this candle was read by Jake Barker.

A Call to Worship, an Affirmation of Faith, and The Apostles’ Creed was recited. Prayer Concerns and Joys were heard, our pianist Catalin Dima played music during the offering, and a Pastoral Prayer ending with The Lord’s Prayer.
The Morning Message came from the scripture of Matthew 24:36-44 and the message was on "The Necessity of Watchfulness." Two Hymns were sung “To God Be the Glory” and “Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord, God Almighty”. The close of the service ended with attendees joining hands and attendees were to take the love and peace of Christ with you, and the holding of hand signifies we can’t do this world by ourselves, and we need each other all the time and everywhere. The Service ended.
