Advent and Christmas 2023
Advent is about expectation and hope. Something new is about to happen, something exciting and mysterious. In our Christian story that something is the birth of Jesus of Nazareth.
All around us the community is starting to prepare. Lights up, seasonal food in the shops and plans to meet friends and family. The journey to Christmas can be expensive and exhausting as well as exciting.
There is an inner advent journey to make. A gradual opening of our hearts and minds to receive, not just the Christmas message and story, but to make room for the Spirit of Jesus to inspire and accompany us in lives. One of our key Advent readings in church speaks of a voice calling from the desert. The voice says prepare the way for the Lord… and you will see God at work. You are invited. Come and hear the voice of God call out in love through the worship of the church.
