"GIFTED" - Reflecting during Advent

The preparation for Christmas is one of the most joyful and busy times in the year but often we forget to step back and prepare to celebrate the heart of Christmas, the birth of Jesus.

"Gifted" is for everyone in our churches and beyone: both believers rejoicing in God's gift of Jesus, and those who might find the season more wearying than wonderful.

"Gifted" reaches out to people longing for transformation but feeling stuck. For those searching for something more, something real - but unsure where to look.

"Gifted" is an open invitation, speaking the good news to people that they matter.  That they are Beloved. Created with infinite care. A gift to the world, just as they are.

This Advent there are two opportunities to gather and reflect that you are gifted.
