Weekly Newsletter - 25 December 2016

Advent 5
Happiest Friday, friends!

Christmas is here! As we give and receive gifts this season, may we also remember the lowly around us, and pray for God's continued love and guidance over them - placing people like you and me around them to help.  

May God's love be embedded in the hearts and minds of our world, our country, our community and of our Church, so that we never forget the greatest gift the world ever received - Jesus!

God bless you and your families, and have a safe and prosperous Christmas and New Year.

Lots of love, 
Helen xx
