All enjoyed an early Christmas dinner at Songs of Praise last Tuesday. Thank you to the Refectory Team and Gil on the organ.
In the 26 days leading up to and celebrating Christmas, we will be exploring the writings of the 12 Minor Prophets. Andy writes in his preface: “The Twelve anticipates the great day(s) when the LORD will intervene and act… This Advent, as we prepare for the big day of Christ’s return in judgement and salvation by examining ourselves and returning to him, let’s attend to the message of the Twelve.” The booklets (free) will be available in both our churches on Advent Sunday.
Memories of time at home with families and children, stories from grandmothers were shared; we thought of the ‘blackouts’ and being in darkness. This led us to reflect on the Light and Love of Jesus in our lives. We enjoyed candlelight as we said our prayers for loved ones. All finished off with cake and a cuppa!
