In all the busy-ness of preparing for Holy Week & Easter, it's important for preachers to make space just to be with God, and to let God speak to you in order that you might speak God's word to God's people.

Preachers deal in words - to teach, exhort, comfort, inspire. But how often do we use words in new or different ways? Or find new words to share our message? Our preachers' conference offers preachers a chance to explore the wonder of words. Further details at www.collegeofpreachers.co.uk/events.

As we near the end of Advent, it is worth remembering that those we've remembered in this season - patriarchs, prophets, John the Baptist & Mary - waited on God but their waiting was active, not passive. They prayed & acted & kept ready to respond when God called.

On the fourth Sunday in Advent, we remember Mary, mother of Jesus. She accepted God's call even though it brought risk and challenge. We pray for the courage to accept God's call to us, with all it brings.

Advent is a season of penitence, when we acknowledge our mistakes and weaknesses and ask for God's forgiveness and grace. But it is also a season of joy, as we recognise God's goodness and love for all creation.
