Advent Sunday arrives and Christmas Cheer is beginning to be garnered.
Some of us find the tinsel and lights a little too bright as we have last those who filled our Christmases with joy.
For you we have a Blue Christmas tree on which precious names may be left and remembered at our special service

Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without repentance, baptism without church discipline, communion without confession, absolution without personal confession.
Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ living and incarnate.

Nadine Shah didn’t just headline for us this year. She came and bared her soul in conversation too. In a wide-ranging chat with Pippa Wragg about everything from addiction to mental health, she talked about how rehab led her to church and told us what (apart from the biscuits) she loved about going.

Tonight’s (this morning’s…) prayers are a real hodge podge of beads and emotions but perhaps just what was needed to make sense of this beautiful vocation together and call me ever forward.
Further up and further in!

The public also thinks asylum makes up a much larger share of UK immigration than it does. The average estimate is 33%, while the real figure is about 14%, with far more people arriving for work and study.
