Collect

Collect for the First Sunday of Christmas 
Faithful God, 
you set the promise of your coming in the hearts of your people;
your Son was revealed to Anna and Simeon 
who had waited faithfully with hope. 
Through the power of your Spirit inspire each generation 
to wait patiently and expectantly 
for your coming into the world again, 
that, like them, we might rejoice and turn to you. 
Through Jesus Christ our Liberator, 
who is alive and reigns with you, 
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, 
​one God, now and for ever. Amen

1 John 1:1-5 God is light

Summer Holidays!

We hereby give you permission (not that you need it, however) to not run anything on the 27th of December! Go and eat ice-cream, look at the Pohutakawa trees and see God in creation and nature. ​
