Over the past few months we have had little opportunity to get together with friends and enjoy the company of other believers. Last night we had two of the young couples we know back to our home after church. One couple, Gareth and Karen, attend our church and have done so for several years. They … Read more

We have also had some feedback from the 1500 Beacons we distributed in the weeks prior to the service. Though some regulars did not turn up numbers were good.

Without fail at this time of year people dust off their old decorations and begin transforming their homes into demonstrations of the festive spirit. Christmas trees go up, shiny ornaments hang from the ceilings, flashing lights and animated models appear outside people’s homes.
The shops put on the same music they have been playing for the past 20 years; the quantity of food and drink sold more than doubles. Cards are sent in their millions to the person next door and to friends on the other side of the world. The religious perhaps get out a nativity scene to add to their decorated homes and a few even make their annual appearance at some church. However, Christ is largely neglected. While there is nothing inherently wrong in enjoying the decorations, the gifts and all the trappings of the festive spirit there is something drastically wrong when the whole meaning behind Christmas gets forgotten and even rejected.
