Weekly Newsletter, Sunday 17th December
Dear friends,
Well, we’re nearly there, aren’t we? Parties are happening, end of term events organised, presents bought - if not wrapped. Christmas is a time of joyous celebration, and yet amidst the hustle and bustle we are reminded that it is in Jesus that true joy can be found. As we gather with loved ones and exchange gifts, it is the birth of Jesus that reminds us of the greatest gift ever given to humanity. In the humble manger, we see God's love personified, and in the story of his life, we find hope, peace, and redemption. Jesus teaches us to love unconditionally and to extend kindness to all. As we reflect on his teachings during this Christmas season, our hearts are filled with a joy that surpasses all worldly pleasures. In Jesus, we find a deep, abiding joy that brings us comfort, strengthens our faith, and unifies our hearts. He is the true reason for the season, and in him, we discover everlasting joy that transcends the material and connects us to something greater.
Why not come and join one of our carol or Christmas services this year and experience a little bit of God’s ‘Joy to the world’ too!
Love,
Revd Grant
