Dear Friends,
Christmas is a wonderful time of year and a special time for families and friends to meet up and spend time together, to have fun and enjoy each other’s company. We warmly invite you to join with us during this Christmas time, and there’s lots going on! Our annual Carols by candlelight is on Sunday 8 December, at 4pm, followed by seasonal refreshments: the perfect way to start the Christmas season! And on Christmas Day, all are most welcome to join us for a family Holy Communion at 11am in Childerley Chapel, Childerley Hall.
Jesus’s birth was a moment of great wonder, beauty and joy in uncertain and difficult times. We too are living in such times. The world feels a far more dangerous place, with the ongoing war in Ukraine and Gaza, and many other places around the world. Yet even in the worst of times, we have seen an unbroken tradition, celebrating Jesus’s birth. The Christmas story reminds us however afraid and worried and anxious we may feel, we can all experience a renewed sense of hope and joy that our saviour Jesus has been born. Jesus was the greatest gift ever given! A gift of unconditional love and forgiveness, and hope for a better tomorrow. God sent His son as a tiny, vulnerable baby into an ordinary family, at a difficult and dangerous time, to help us find our way home to Him. Jesus is the living hope that God is with us, no matter what.
I pray that you and your family a very joyful, happy and peace filled Christmas and a very happy New Year.
God Bless,
Clare
