Sunday, December 1 (11:30 am) – “I Choose Joy”
On the Third Sunday of Advent, the church leans into a bold theme: Joy. Not the Hallmark kind. Not the “everything’s fine” kind. But the kind of joy that shows up while we’re still waiting, still healing, still praying, still holding the tension—joy that refuses to surrender the future to fear.
This Sunday at Shiloh, we welcome guest preacher Minister T. Micah Washington with a message titled “I Choose Joy,” grounded in John 15:11—where Jesus speaks of a joy that can live in us, and become complete. This is a word for real life: joy as a spiritual practice, a daily decision, a holy stance. Joy that doesn’t ignore pain—but still believes God is near.
Come expecting worship that strengthens your feet for the journey and puts a song back in your chest. If you’ve been tired, heavy, guarded, or running on empty—this is your invitation. Let Advent joy meet you where you are… and lift you into what God is still doing.
