A Message from our Pastor
20th November 2025
Advent calendars, Christmas cards, decorations, panic and anxiety over plans about Christmas all started over a month ago. We seem to spend a quarter of the year thinking about Christmas.
I popped into a local discount superstore to have a cup of coffee the other day. I have never seen so many Christmas decorations under one roof in my entire life! I think about other parts of our world where people haven’t even got close to thinking about Christmas or any other celebrations, because of their circumstances. Many dream of food and shelter whilst grieving the loss of loved ones.
Even at our doorstep we meet people who are desperately in need of safety and nourishment. On one hand we have a picture of lavish celebrations and on the other complete abandonment and despair. I cannot reconcile these two pictures in my mind or in my heart.
Yet, the very reason we celebrate Christmas is to rejoice in the birth of our Saviour who came to rescue and give life to the marginalised, abandoned and desperate.
We live in a crazy world. Life is unfair, but God is good. We have an amazing God who loves each and every one of us with unconditional love. Let us lift up our eyes to Jesus in thanks and pray for his peace, protection and providence for a world so needy of his love and support at this special time of the year.
