Advent begings with Hanging of the Greens!

We began the celebration of ADVENT today - that's where we get ready for Christ's appearing by anticipating the Christmas Season. Todays' theme: HOPE! Specifically, the HOPE that the prophets gave the people walking in darkness more than 600 years before Jesus came in the flesh. Bishop LaDonna gave us a report on the recent ministry to TOGO, West Africa (go to our website - http://www.igcenter.org to hear her message.)
Everyone who attended service today participated in decorating the sanctuary - the children's part was to handle the Christmas Tree.


Our YOUTH CHOIR sung about the HOPE promised to the SEED of ABRAHAM! Click the arrow below their picture to listen to a little bit of their joyous singing!

We also prayed for this weeks' Missions Teams (Rev. Donald O'Dell headed to Ecuador & our South Dakota Group headed to the Pine Ridge Reservation)
