Advent and Christmas Services
For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselour, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
(Isaiah 9:6)
ADVENT REFLECTIONS
​Exploring the theme of Hope and Peace.
As we enter the Advent Season, we cannot ignore that all around the world, there are many places where people are experiencing heartbreaking hardship, uncertainty and living in danger.
How can we, in the face of such reality, remain hopeful? How can we share hope with others?
Throughout Advent we will send you Advent Reflections, exploring these questions and pondering the hope that comes into our world and into our lives through Jesus Christ.
