Christmas and New Year 2015
Here are the sermons I've preached over the Christmas and New Year period:
First, The Donkey's Story - an imaginative retelling of the Nativity, from the perspective of the Donkey
Then, at Midnight Mass, I invited our congregation to think about why, 'on Christmas night, all Christians sing, to hear the news the angels bring'
On Christmas morning, we thought about the Face of God - shown to us in the face of a baby at Bethlehem
And then, finally, on New Year's Eve, we will think about the light that shines in the darkness, as we meet for our Watch Night service.
