This week was the second week of Advent, during which we focus on the theme of Love. Dr. John Clayton's sermon was titled "Signs of God's Favor," and was on Psalm 86. The hymns for this week were "Of the Father's Love Begotten," "Gentle Mary Laid Her Child," Psalm 86 (verses 12-15, 17), and "O Lord, How Shall I Meet You." In addition, today's offertory was "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel," performed by the handbell ensemble.

This week's service marked the conclusion of our Advent observances, as we celebrated the 4th week: Peace. The service featured the sermon "The Reign of Peace" by Dr. John Clayton and included the hymns "Angels, From the Realms of Glory," "God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen," Psalm 85 (verses1-3, 8-13), and "It Came upon the Midnight Clear." Also included was the choir's offertory song, "Angels and Shepherds," featuring Derek Bolin on trumpet.
