Dear Friends,
Christmas is suddenly here! Join us in celebrating the coming of the Prince of Peace! Whoever you are – you are welcome to join with us!
With the state of the world where civil conflict rages in so many places, we all need the message of Christmas – the message of peace and goodwill, of love and forgiveness. Even those cheesy Christmas movies have something to teach us!
The message of Christmas is that God is with us, and God loves us, whatever we’re going through, however we may be struggling. God is with us – and the people of All Saints stand with you too!
Come celebrate – and seek for peace with us – this Christmas!
You are also invited to the vicarage for New Year’s Eve!
We have four services this Christmas – and a fifth at the Youth Charity Foundation!
