Sunday's Service
Every Sunday, across the world, Christians share an agreed three year cycle of Bible Readings in Sunday worship, this is called the Common Lectionary. We offer materials including prayers bible study and worship resources for each one of these Sunday's via our Lectionary Bible Notes Section.
Introduction Advent 3
Not everybody will be having a wonderful Christmas. There are some people with loved ones in hospital and their journey each day is to visit the sick, not shop in crowded streets. There are others who cannot be happy because of the loss of somebody dear to them and Christmas just makes missing them feel so much worse. Then of course there are others who feel miserable that they cannot enjoy Christmas because it all seems to cost so much money and there just isn't enough to go around.
Our Bible readings this week for our Christingle service remind us that Christ came as a light. The one things for certain about that - is that he expected to find darkness. Jesus is no stranger to pain and suffering, or indeed poverty and hatred from others. If you are feeling miserable this Christmas then perhaps it is time to listen afresh to the words of the one who promises real light, in the midst of what can be a decidedly dark world.
Are you ready for the coming of Jesus?

Each morning and each evening
let the peace of the Father, be ours.
Each day and each night
let the peace of the Son be ours.
Each dawn and each dusk
let the peace of the Spirit be ours.
Let the blessing of the three in one be ours;
both now and for ever. Amen.
