From Father Iain, All Saints Chiang Mai
All is prepared!
POTLUCK THIS SUNDAY!
Dear Friends,
Christmas is almost upon us: this Sunday, 27th November, is Advent Sunday, and we will be joined by our All Saints Choristers from the Youth Charity Foundation. We will decorate the church following morning worship and this will be followed by a potluck at the vicarage where we will also decorate the Christmas tree!
Advent is a time for anticipation, preparation, and as we prepare our homes and our church for Christmas, we must also again prepare our hearts for the coming of the Christ-child! So let us prepare ourselves, and rejoice that love is in the world!
Advent Potluck!
Decorating the Tree!
The readings for Advent Sunday will be Isaiah 2:1-5, Romans 13:11-14, and Matthew 24:36-44, and we will be singing O Come, O come Emmanuel; Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus; and Joy to the World!

Last Week’s Service
Highlights of last week’s service for The Transgender Day of Remembrance can be seen here!
The video ends with the reading of the names of those killed in the last twelve months because of their gender expression.
