Advent is upon us!  Our countdown to Christmas is about to begin.  It is a time when we make loads of journeys - shopping for Christmas presents, visiting family and friends, watching our children's or grandchildren's Christmas performances, and going to church to sing carols or to hold a Christingle.  There is so much to do in the build up to Christmas that it is important to take care of ourselves.  Whatever happens, we should not burn out before the big day arrives!  We need to be rested and ready to celebrate our Lord's birth and to enjoy Christmas with our families.  It is why we have an Advent booklet to encourage us to pause for a few minutes daily and reflect on the journey that we are on.  This Advent, we will be travelling with our Advent companions: Abraham and Sarah, the Prophets, John the Baptist and his parents, and Mary.  Our journey is designed to take us deeper into ourselves as God's Spirit invites us to be trusting, learning, accepting and rejoicing.

You'll find a copy of the booklet - HERE.

Enjoy journeying daily with God as you prepare your heart and your home to celebrate the light and love, the joy and peace of Christmas.

Have a wonderful Advent!

God bless,

Revd Katrina
