A Time of Wonder
We are invited to ponder with childlike trust the beauty and mystery of the incarnation during the holy season of Advent. A gift is bestowed upon us that is much greater than anything available in the marketplace.We hear God's words of promise to us: 'When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart' (Jeremiah 29:13).God wishes to renew our hearts, our churches and our world. He desires that we are deeply in tune with what is really important and sacred in our lives - the presence of the holy. We are invited to savour this presence ever more deeply, to share the light of his grace with others and to rejoice!

Down To Earth

These reflections may be used in place of a sermon or teaching slot, as the focus of a Eucharistic service, or to form part of an Advent for use in youth groups, secondary school worship and house church.We are challenged to reflect on the familiar Christmas story in a new way and look again at the individuals who met Jesus 2000 years ago. For they were as we are: flawed, frightened, anxious, astonished and changed for ever by their encounter with the living God.

Reflections In The Bauble
As you journey through the period of Advent and prepare to celebrate Christmas Day, do the decorations on the tree reflect a house of peace and joy or are they more likely to reflect the stress and turmoil that often surrounds this time? This course will be addressing some of the concerns that come about during this period, such as dealing with temptations and needs, tackling the expectations of others and coping with suffering. It will offer tools to help individuals creatively explore how they are personally affected by these issues and space to search for what Jesus offers in the tensions, busyness and suffering of everyday life.
