Advent and Christmas services & events
Advent
As we approach Christmas, why not take some time out of your busy schedule to refocus yourself and reconnect with God at our Advent reflections, where we will be delving into the lives of Biblical characters from the book, ‘Women of the Nativity’, by Paula Gooder.
Set within the culture and context into which Jesus was born, the stories give voice to those whose stories are often spoken over by louder voices. Perhaps we can imagine our own stories finding their place too.
