Our souls magnify You, God our spirits rejoice. You show your strength by favouring the lowly, scatter those the world would call powerful. You fill us with the good things of life reminding us that riches alone are empty.

Remember, if you're planning to come to our Nine Lessons and Carols, we strongly recommend you reserve a spot. We are expecting about 1000 congregants at each service, and there might not be many places left on the night.

Christmas can be a tough time for many people. For those who are lonely, grieving, or just not as cheerful as the world demands. This Sunday at 3:30pm, we are holding our Silent Night, Holy Night service, a quiet service of readings, poetry and music.

The Lord watches over the strangers; He upholds the orphan and the widow, but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin. The Lord will reign for ever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Praise the Lord! Psalm 146: 9-10

God of the nations, We bring before You the things which feel too big for us to carry alone We ask that Your peace would be stronger than conflict: in Ukraine, in the Middle East, in Sudan and in so many other places around the world We ask for Your healing amid all manner of ills, in relationships and in unjust circumstances.

Lord we have fallen short of Your glory. Forgive us as we remember what the meaning of Your expectant arrival does for us. For You did not consider it equality with God, but set Yourself aside, took the form of a babe, lived a sinless life, died on the Cross, and now offer us forgiveness of our sins, to the Glory of God, the Father.

You know what time it is, how it is now the moment for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we became believers; The night is far gone, the day is near. Let us then lay aside the works of darkness and put on the armour of light. Romans 13:11-12
