Dear Church family and friends,
In Advent we look forward to a promise fulfilled. We know it’s coming: light, hope, salvation and a repaired relationship with God. We might be surprised by the form that it takes – a new-born baby – but we know it’s on its way. During their Christmas Brunch, the ladies were reminded that faith is lived, both in the good times and bad times. How will we know what happens in a book if we don’t read onwards? A good book has a satisfying ending, with all plots resolved and no questions left unanswered. It delivers on its promises, as does God. In our Advent series this year, we will be looking at the promises made in the book of Genesis. To listen to the first, just click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JctpeCPSlE.
