Lots of things to look forward to this month: events and services, get togethers with family and friends, and Christmas dinner!

Christmas is often a time for extreme emotions both happy and sad, with people’s expectations often wrongly high, which can lead to disappointment, arguments and tears.

On the other hand, we can get carried away spending too much money, eating and drinking too much, so, let’s ponder the wonderful mystery of God made man and the hope he brings to all the world.

I wish you all a joyful Christmas filled with God’s love and blessing, and a hopeful New Year.
