CHRISTMAS & BEYOND

As Christmas approaches, life can feel like a flurry of lists and lights — presents to buy, cards to write, food to prepare, and gatherings to plan. It’s a season filled with joy and excitement, yet it can also leave us feeling hurried and distracted. In all the busyness, it’s easy to lose sight of what lies at the very heart of Christmas: the wonder of God coming to dwell among us in the person of Jesus.

This year, our theme Follow the Star invites us to pause, to look up, and to rediscover that guiding light which leads us towards hope, peace, and love. Just as the Wise Men journeyed across desert sands to find the Christ Child, we too are invited to make our own journey - one that leads not to more noise and rush, but to stillness and joy found in God’s presence.

Amid the familiar traditions - the glow of candles, the sound of carols, and the laughter of family and friends - our church offers a Place of Grace: a space where all are welcome to rest, to reflect, and to reconnect with the true meaning of Christmas. Whether through a Crib Service filled with wonder, a Carol Service rich with song, or a quiet moment in prayer, we hope you will find something here that speaks to your heart.

This Christmas, as you follow the star, may you be led once again to the heart of it all — to the child in the manger, to the light that no darkness can overcome, and to the love that continues to shine for us all.
