Christmas is fast approaching — what an incredible wonder-filled time of the year. I want this wonder to fill me completely. 

We all know it is easy to miss the point of it all - in all the busyness, to forget to stop and sit in wonder at what God has done. But this time of year is for exactly that - stop - pause - sit - ponder - look - in awe and wonder - respond - worship - adore - draw near - on our knees - down low. This is Christmas: God Himself has come to us! God Himself is here with us! God Himself has made a way to fulfill His timeless plan -  that God would have a people of His very own, that He would live among us, that He would be our God and we would be His people. Emmanuel, God with us. He has done it!  Andrew Freeman

Advent

We will also be lighting the 3^rd Advent Candle which resembles Joy and have some time to reflect on scripture related to this.

We look forward to seeing you Sunday at 10.30am.

Communion Sunday

This Sunday, we will have communion, so if you are joining us online, be prepared at home with some grape juice and bread as we share in this special time together.
