In this week's video, Simon looks forward to tonight's Carol Service for Swindon Town Football Club and its fans. He reminds us that STFC was started in the 1860s by a former Christ Church curate and how the annual service for the club is like a yearly homecoming. This will be Simon's 25th Christmas as STFC Chaplain and he still has a passion for the club and the game after all these years, even if their form hasn't been the best lately. Simon asks us to consider how we can be kind to others this Christmas time, then ends the video message with an encouragement to the club! Everyone is welcome to attend the STFC carol service this evening, even if you are not a football fan and want to have a good sing!You can watch Simon's weekly video update here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA0bC88PCJsIf you cannot make it to church tonight at 6:30pm for the carol service, why not watch it online here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3BRGWdalQU
