If anyone asks you what Christmas is all about – then here is a really good answer and a conversation starter. ‘At Christmas we remember and celebrate the good news that God sent His Son into the world as the heart of His rescue plan, bringing light to our darkness, hope to our hearts, and life to our souls.’

From the beginning of time, the world has been fascinated by love stories. Music, art and literature from every culture celebrate the theme of love. But the Greatest Love Story Ever Told is in the Bible – in John’s Gospel, chapter 3 veerse 16-17. Find out more at our service on Sunday morning!

In a troubled world, you might find this quote by D L Moody very helpful – “A great many people are trying to make peace, but that has already been done. God has not left it for us to do; all we have to do is enter into it.”

Here’s a good thought for the first Sunday in Advent – ‘Let’s approach Christmas with an expectant hush, rather than a last-minute rush’ (Anonymous).
