12/8/2024 "Christmas Past: Hope from Heartbreak" by the Rev Jeff Hunt - St John's UMC Dover NH Live

The Second Sunday of Advent, December 8, 2024 - Live Streamed at 9:30 AM
Christmas Past: Hope from Heartbreak
Anyone who has ever been in therapy knows that shining a light on our past requires courage...and hope. When the Ghost of Christmas Past makes a visit, Scrooge is immediately afraid of the light that emanates from it. But as he begins the terrifying journey, he sheds a tear for the disappointment of his own past and compassion slowly begins to make an appearance in his life. How will we be inspired to share hope in the midst of the world’s heartbreak?
