Christmas is almost here! And everyone has a different ‘take’ on what Christmas is all about.
We fill it with different things: Family and food. Presents and Public Holidays. The beach and boxing-day cricket.
We feel it in different ways: Celebration and cheer. Loss and loneliness.
We focus it on different things: Gratitude and goodwill in general. Praise of God for providing peace.
We have different takes… and so did the people on the first Christmas. This year at Salt Church, come and join us as we see Christmas through the eyes of some of the first people who were there:
- Joseph – Sun 9 Dec (4pm and 6pm)
- Herod – Sun 16 Dec (4pm and 6pm)
- Mary – Sun 23 Dec (4pm and 6pm)
- The Magi – Tue 25 Dec (9am)
