    Rev. Dr. Kikanza Nuri-Robins, preaching. John Hart, Worship Associate. How might hope be expressed by a pessimist, optimist, or realist? Is there a difference between optimism and hope? In this season of Hope, at the end of a year of disappointments, outrage, and deferred dreams, what is in your heart that you might share with the people in your corner of the world? And we'll begin the service with a Holiday Pageant presented by our children and youth. December Ministry Theme: Choosing Hope.
