Advent is such a busy time of year and we so easily forget that—at its heart—it is meant to be a time of preparation, waiting and hope for the coming of Jesus into our world and lives.
There are a few opportunities to reflect on the significance of Advent and to take time out from the busyness of this time of the year.
Common Grace Advent Series. This December, Common Grace has inviting 25 Christians to share their reflections on ‘We are Longing’.
Listen to Jess Lyons preaching for the second week of Advent, with its theme of Peace, on overcoming fear and division through vulnerability.
Ecumenical Advent Studies. To remind us, this year we are gathering with our local catholic church, St Francis on Oxford Street and the Paddington Uniting Church for Advent Reflections. We will be using The Way Advent Program which includes daily reflections and beautiful artworks.
Pick up your copy at church and come along – starting on Thursday 21st November at 7pm and continuing on the following Thursday’s, Nov.28, Dec.5 and Dec.12..
