We gather together to celebrate Christ s presence in our lives recognizing that we are made by a loving God. We also have been celebrating a number of Weddings and Holy Unions, so as we approach the Season of Christmas we do so as a congregation of diversity and inclusivity. Advent and Christmas are times to remember our roots. Many may still struggle with lonliness, isolation and despair.
Advent is a time of hope and expectation.
It is a season of light in a period of darkness. As the Wise Men and Women followed the star in the sky which announced the birth of Jesus, we also follow the light. That light is in our hearts and those of our families and friends. Jesus wants us to love one another and to reach out to one another. All are one in Christ Jesus.
