Reflecting on a Joyous Morning and Looking Forward to Next Sunday

Reflecting on a Joyous Morning at St Pauls & St Barnabas

What a delightful morning we had at St Pauls & St Barnabas with the incredible team from Play it By Ear! They led an amazing Nativity Pantomime that was not only energetic and fun but also beautifully reminded us all of the transformative power of Jesus' arrival. The excitement continued with our Sunday School's Christmas Party - a joyous time for all!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined and participated in today's festivities. Your presence and enthusiasm brought so much joy and spirit to our church family.

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” - Isaiah 9:6

We're excited to invite you to next week's special events. Join us for Family Carols at 10:30 and Community Carols by Candlelight at 19:00. These gatherings are open to everyone and for the community, focusing on the Dawn of Hope.

As we prepare our hearts and minds for these events, let us come together in prayer. Let's give thanks for our church family, the opportunities we have, and our local area. Let us pray for the success of our services and all the upcoming events.

We look forward to seeing you next Sunday for a time of joy, community, and celebration. It's an opportunity for us to come together, sing joyfully, and celebrate the Dawn of Hope during this special season.

Rain pours relentlessly, the wind howls, and the chill in the air cuts deep. It's a scene all too familiar for many in our community, where the unforgiving weather can be a daunting challenge.
