Join us as we welcome Jesus to our world. Through Scripture and the familiar Christmas Carols we will welcome baby Jesus into our world, into our lives.
What is the difference between joy and happiness?
Joy is not a surface-level happy – it is deeply seated within us and is manifest in our lives by grace and assurance. Joy might be described as knowing something better exists, and holding onto that which is better. As you praise God, you will draw strength knowing that no matter what circumstances you face, joy truly is our strength.

Christmas is a season that is filled with joy and excitement. In the midst of all the craziness of shopping, parties, cooking, and family visits it is easy we can go through the season and miss out on the experience we had hoped for.
This Advent we invite you to a life-giving Christmas – and to focus on the real, the authentic the things that really matter and the true gift of the season – life. Not just any life, a meaningful life from a very part of God – God’s own son. Hope, peace, joy and love are not just candles to be lit around an advent wreath. They are facets of a living Christ to be ignited in our lives and our communities.
This Christmas invest in yourself and refuel for the New Year ahead as you journey with us through these Advent days.
Can you imagine actually walking with God? Adam and Eve, Moses, Enoch, the Israelite camps, the disciples and followers of Christ all had a blessed and unique opportunity; they had an intimate, up close and personal walk with either God or Jesus, God in the flesh.
