It was a great joy this week to host our annual part of carols nights! It was so wonderful how every part pointed to the glory of God - from the music, singing, choral and band items, kids drama and video, Bible reading, message from Dan Paterson, prayers, welcome, and refreshment. We’re so thankful to God for the many who served so generously, to bring the good news of Jesus to the community.

There were so many positive comments, with many expressing their deep appreciation for the generous use of people's gifts along with the sincere welcome. We estimate that we welcomed around 750 people over the two nights (with more online), with so many friends, neighbours, and colleauges coming along for the first time.

• ‍Pray: Keep praying that the gospel seeds planted will take root in people's hearts. Whether or not people said 'yes' to your invitation for carols, do still invite them along to celebrate Advent with us (on Sundays), and also to come along to our Christmas services.
