The people who walked in darkness have a seen a great light

Or, more accurately, a great many tiny LED lights. In readiness for the many Christmas events that will take place at church in the next month the Christmas lights are now up. Our grand Victorian building has been transformed and as darkness fell yesterday we turned off the main lights to see the full effect. It was a magical moment.



Earlier in the day at school we had talked about Jesus coming into the world to bring light. The choir sang a song about kindness and we thought about the ways can be tiny lights in the darkness of our small world.

A lovely thought as we move into Advent. The world could do with more kindness.

Advent reflections









Advent begins on Friday. Time to dust off the decorations, write the cards and prepare for Christmas. Time too to give some thought to what lies at the heart of it all - the birth of the Christ Child bringing light into the darkness.

We watch and wait.
