Emmanuel 'God is with us'

The Evening Prayer Services during Advent have followed a theme from a small book entitled 'God with us, Your Christmas Journey' which has a  a welcoming introduction by Archbishop Justin Welby. The journey begins in week one with 'LIstening' followed by 'Watching, Waiting and Welcoming. In silence we learn to listen, if we take time to observe the world around us we see the signs of God's presence in the wonders of nature. At the end of our sevice last week we took time to observe the most wonderful sunset which gradually spread its orange glow across the sky. As we wait to celebrate the birth of Jesus may we take time to remember and pray for those in all parts of our world, who may for whatever reason, be struggling and in need of help and support. 

We pray that we may all receive God's gifts of peace,hope and love.

The final service will be at 3.30pm Tuesday 21st December when we explore 'Welcoming'
