Christmas Day - Christmas - the undeserved gift

Christmas is a time where I often have mixed emotions.   When I focus on myself I look at the busyness, the jobs still to do, the loved ones who are no longer walk this earth, the demands others place on me, my family and our congregations,  fractured relationships and the problems of life....Yet there is a better story that comes from focussing on God, the promise of a future, the gift of being loved and forgiven, the relationships God creates and encourages and the joy God gives.   
 
Christmas gives us this opportunity to redirect our focus away towards God where we hear the story of not only that Jesus came to earth, but why....and that central to this why is to give us life and a life to look forward to....So join us Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to hear and reflect on this great story from God.
