A Message of Love From Bishop Carter
|
Take a look at this Advent Message from Bishop Carter as we close with the fourth and final Sunday of Advent.
This week we light the fourth candle - the candle of Love. Jesus’ birth was proof that God had not abandoned or forgotten the world. His gift of love had come, to bring freedom for captives and heal the hurting (Luke 4:18). Jesus was the perfect gift.
How can you show love this Christmas season?
