Youth Worship — Sunday, Dec. 21
10 a.m. • Room 200
Theme: There Is Peace
This week, we continue our Advent journey by looking at a word we don’t use very often—but deeply desire: joy. We’ll explore why joy is more than just a bigger, better version of happiness, and how it can exist even when life feels heavy or uncertain. Through the story of the shepherds in Luke 2, we’ll see that real joy isn’t tied to perfect circumstances, but to God’s presence with us. As we head toward Christmas, we’ll ask a simple but challenging question: Where joy is missing, what would it look like to bring it?
Read Ahead: Luke 2:8-18
