Happy New Year. Today we begin the new church year. The children in children's liturgy helped finish of their Advent Wreath by thinking about how they could prepare for the coming of Jesus. Traditionally, the four candles on the Advent wreath are often linked to gifts of the Holy Spirit. This year we have focused on the gift of HOPE. As we wait in hopeful expectation for the coming of the Lord, the two videos offer contrasting ways of reflecting on what it means to hope and reminds us what we are hoping for.
The first is very short video but offers some scriptural connections on HOPE.
This second video suggests that we all have a role to pass on the light of hope. Jesus is our hope and the Light of the World. Soundtrack by Coldplay "Everything's not lost" What can you do this Advent to pass on hope to others?
Hopefully! next week we'll be able to show you the Children's Advent wreath. In the meantime, we'd welcome examples of Advent wreaths or focal areas from homes around the parish. We've had one sent in which is on the Cathedral Year of Faith site where the object of faith this week is Advent wreaths and candles.
