Welcome. At Christmas time we delight again to hear the story of the journey to Bethlehem, the song of the angels, the surprise of the shepherds, and their joy as they found Jesus in the manger.\nBut lest we forget he was born to poverty, we remember at this season all who are hungry or cold.\nAnd lest we forget he became a refugee, we remember now the stranger and the lonely among us.\nAnd lest we forget he felt the pain of life and death, we remember now those who are ill, or anxious, or bereaved.\nAnd because we know he came for our salvation, let us in heart and mind go once again to Bethlehem, to hear the message of the angels and worship afresh the Son of God.\nMichael Perry © Mrs B Perry / admin.
