4th Sunday in Advent

Despite a broken d string during the kyrie, a series of duff chords in our memorial acclamation and an advent candle that wouldn't light, we embarked on the and of our journey through advent with a joyous celebration. The theme was that of Mary and we listened to Graham Kendrick's 'Thorns in the straw' at communion. The beautiful words of this hymn remind us of the mystery, humility and faith that surrounded her life as the mother of Christ. And so to Christmas and the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ -see you there !
