Message from the Minister

I love this time of year. so much preparation, so much expectancy. So many dazzling lights.

But more than anything else, I love the Christmas music and carols and children re-enacting the First Christmas Story.

In the Gospel of Luke we read that the Angel of the Lord announced the birth of Jesus to the shepherds.

Luke 2 verses 10 and 11

“I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.

Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you;

he is Christ the Lord.”

Because, like the shepherds, we have all sinned and come short of the Glory of God, we need a Saviour too. For everyone who is willing to acknowledge their fallen spiritual condition this Christmas, this news is both encouraging and life changing, because Jesus is the Saviour of the lost and the friend of sinners.

May the blessing of Christmas be yours and may the peace of the Prince of Peace be a reality in your experience.

H.Vincent Watkins (Minister)
