Advent is about looking forward to hope, peace, joy and good faith.

Christmas is about celebrating the gift of God in human life born among us.

Join us this Season to explore how such ancient stories can inspire us again.

All are welcome, and we mean all. Bring your questions, your doubts, your loves and your passions as we reflect together at this time.

Advent 1 –  3rd of December 10:30 am and 7:30 pm – Facing Trauma and our desire for divine help.

Advent 2 – 10th of December 10:30 am and 7:30 pm – To Tinsel and Excess- The Baptist says ” turn away, get back to nature and be cleansed.

Advent 3 – 17th of December 10:30 am and 7:30 pm – To share and to bring good news to the oppressed. Hope seekers.

Advent 4 and Christmas Eve – 10:30 am and 12 noon Christmas Community Lunch (all are invited from all our services and community)

Celebrating the potential of Justice being bornThis sounds like a first-century cry for Justice – “He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty.” Justice cry’s today are among the 65 million displaced and refugees globally, for indigenous justice locally and for all who are suppressed because of health, race, gender or sexuality.

Christmas Day 25th of December 10:30 am – 10:30 am – born among us
New Year’s Eve 10:30 am and 7:30 pm – Creation continues to sing, we mark it with time and production milestones. Let us reflect on being grounded in the life of God’s just and creative purposes as we conclude 2017.
