Sunday 20 December:
Access our streamed services here.
This week is the fourth Sunday of Advent – the season in the lead up to Christmas, when we prepare for the coming of Jesus. In our services, we have been lighting a candle each week to remind us that Jesus brings light into the world. Today we light the fourth candle, LOVE.
We worship a God of love. He shows his love through his plans for our lives and all that he provides for us. At Christmas we celebrate his ultimate outpouring of love – sending his son into the world as a human baby, to be the perfect example of love, and to die to save us.
This week we finish our current series of talks – Hebrews: Faith in the Dark
Activities, if needed to keep hands busy during Kirk’s talk:
- Advent: Love – Colouring 1, 2, 3, 4, Decode & Colour
- Hebrews 12 – Crossword, Decoder, Wordsearch
