Advent Conspiracy

Advent Conspiracy At Christmas we picture a "holy infant so tender and mild." But that baby was invading earth with a plan to turn the world upside down (or right-side up... depending on your perspective). His message was good news for the poor, the hungry, and the hopeless. His message still has the power to change the world. To learn more about becoming a co-conspirator, join us on Sundays at 9:15 or 10:45 as we continue our current series:  Advent Conspiracy.
