Wednesday 28 December 2022 Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, It was very good to see many of you as well as lots of visitors at our various Christmas services. I hope all of you have been able to enjoy the Christmas celebrations whether here in Bern or away with family and friends. We continue in this Christmas season. Please do come along on Sunday 1st January, and do pray for James as he preaches that day. There will be no Junior Church of creche this Sunday but toys will be available in the Upper Hall for parents who need to take their children out. On Sunday 8th January, there will be a special service as we celebrate Epiphany when we remember the Magi coming with their lavish gifts to worship the Christ child. This service will be an All Age Eucharist. Work with Refugees in Calais
As we think about refugees in Calais and many other parts of the world, it is good to be reminded of the darker side of the Christmas story, that Jesus and his family were themselves refugees who had to flee the violence of Herod. Refugee
I hope that you will have a happy new year and know the grace and light of Christ throughout the year ahead. With love in Christ,
