As we look forward to a new year, don’t be surprised at the unexpected. After all, “Our God is the God of the unexpected. A few things could be more unexpected than the King of heaven being born in a stable.” — Bill Crowder

As we move into our Christmas programmes, why not think about this quote by William Parks, “Christmas is not just a day, an event to be observed and speedily forgotten. It is a spirit which should permeate every part of our lives.”

A Christian message to share with your friends and neighbours. “Christ didn’t only come into the world that first Christmas night in Bethlehem, but He wants to come into our lives today, and every day of the year” (Billy Graham).

As we conclude our series from the Book of James this quote seems very appropriate. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).
