Advent and Christmas
The Journey
From beginning to end. From dawn to dusk. From the cradle to the grave. The concept of journey as a metaphor for life is often talked about, and journey is a popular theme in the Bible.
​
At this time of year, Christians focus on the journey that Mary and Joseph took to Bethlehem. However, it is the greater journey of Jesus to earth and our human hearts towards God that is the spiritual meaning behind the physical story.
We invite you to join us as we travel through Advent to Epiphany and experience this journey for yourselves.
