Message from Rev Brian Hutton
Rev Brian Hutton

Luke 2:11-12 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
Churches are usually very busy places at Christmas. 
With all the events, the goings on, the celebrations, the final year events and meetings, the services. So many events that may include oranges or candles or Operation Christmas Child Shoe Boxes or little knitted angels or excited kids.  And in our focus on the majesty of this time we can be tempted to miss the muck and mire of the moment. If we romanticise this image of Christmas too much, we might just miss the meaning.

We can become so busy romanticising the Christmas picture we miss the clarity of the celebration of the moment that God shares in the complete totality of our humanity-God born amongst us. And we do not celebrate a time so many years ago-but we celebrate an ever-present reality-that God is with me, God is with you, right now. Christmas is happening again right now. 
So, what can you do to open your eyes to this Christmas reality? What can you do to follow God in reaching beyond yourself towards others in need? What can you do to discover God right there in your own poverty? And do we really want the truth of Christmas in ours?  

Rev. Brian Hutton
