Fulfilling God's Plan In You
This sermon was preached on Sunday May 5, 2019 and it is titled “Who You Are.”
Nathan talks of knowing who you are in Christ. Once you are born again, you need to line up your perception of you to match how God sees you.
Not how you see you.
A valuable lesson from the word of God.
Get out your pen and paper as this sermon is worth taking notes from.
Former Pastors of Door To Hope Church from 2008-2015, Bernard Evans and his wife Sharon visited the Door To Hope Church, for the Easter Sunday Service.
This is a video of Sharon’s opening sharing of what we are titling “the Judo Story”
This is encouraging and enlightening as well.
Pastor Barry and Mrs Anita Smith are fast preparing for this year’s Christmas Eve service. The service will be held on Tuesday Evening December 24.
All visitors are Welcome!
Anita usually has the children of the Door To Hope’s Children’s ministry prepared to present a special section of the Christmas Eve Service.
The service will be featuring an always exciting candle lighting part, that all of us look forward to each year.
The service usually starts with 2 or 3 Christmas songs. Then that is followed by a couple of readings, proclaiming the birth of Jesus the Son of God.
Next in the program is usually a part of the Christmas Story as told by Anita and the children of Door To Hope Church.
The children’s part is always extra special for all attendees. 
That is followed with a couple songs, another reading and then the Good News.
The Birth of Jesus is proclaimed and we all participate in the candle lighting section of the service.
That gives you a general idea of how the service goes. The service usually is around a hour long, and then greetings are extended among the attendees as the service is dismissed.
We at Door To Hope Church wish all of you and your’s a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed Holiday season!
Here is the meaning of advent for you. Advent means ‘Coming’ in Latin. So Advent is the coming of Jesus into the world.
Our church body as part of the community of Canandaigua churches use the four Sundays and weeks of Advent to prepare and remember the real meaning of Christmas.
We pause to remember the true reason for the season….
Lighting an Advent wreath is a custom that began with Lutherans and Catholics in 16th-century Germany.
Tradition in the Catholic and Lutheran churches has long held onto the tradition of lighting of four candles before christmas day, and then one final a white candle after the birth of Jesus.
These candles are all part of the traditional Advent wreath.
Typically, the Advent wreath is a circle of branches or garland with four or five candles arranged on the wreath.
During the season of Advent, one candle on the wreath is lit each Sunday as a part of the Advent services.
A fifth week candle is usually placed in the center of the wreath. This candle is a white candle. The white candle is known for being the candle that represents the birth of Jesus. It represents purity, the purity of Jesus.
Christ is the sinless, spotless, pure Savior. He is the light come into a dark and dying world. Also, those who receive Jesus Christ as Savior are washed of their sins and made Clean by the blood of Jesus on the Cross at Calvary.
Advent at Door To Hope Church Starts this year on Sunday December 2 at our 10:45 am Weekly Service.
As in the past 3 Christmas seasons, Anita Smith will lead the Children in the Advent section of our Sunday Service.
Please join us for this year’s Advent Services.
