PLEASE PRAY as we enter the Advent season that we can delay instant gratification and wait patiently for Jesus – his birth, resurrection and coming again. And pray that Carols in the Park on 1st December speaks to our community of something of God’s love for us all in this season, bring them peace and a thirst to know and experience more.

READ THE GOOD NEWS – Matthew 24: 36-44 – We cannot know when Christ will come again but we believe the promise that He will. Are we ready?
