Hi Folks

Christmas candle, Christmas tree
Carol singers singing
Christmas light and tinsel bright
Christmas bells a-ringing
Don't forget the Christmas story
Jesus' birth
Don't forget the Christmas message
“Peace on Earth”

The words above are from one of the modern carols that the praise group are singing at our Big Sing this year on 11 December. We are once more in the season of Advent, a time of waiting and preparation.

In the towns the Christmas lights are being turned on and the shops are all hoping for big profits. In many homes the decorations will have been brought out and lists will have been made of gifts and food that will be needed for the special day.
There will be parties and taking youngsters to the pantomime and to see Santa with their wish list and cards with winter scenes and Seasons Greetings. Weather permitting our own church organisations will also have all their celebrations.  But in all the busyness don't forget the Christmas story – Jesus ' birth – don't forget the Christmas message “peace on Earth”.

Come and join us in Church as we celebrate the real meaning of Christmas and remember in our prayers and giving those in our community and wider world who need the hope, peace, joy and love that come with knowing the Prince of Peace.  
Don't forget the Christmas story Jesus' birth
Don't forget the Christmas message
“To all men, goodwill and love and Peace on Earth”

May God's blessing be with you this Christmas time and in the New Year
