This year has been different! For those of us in Australia and New Zealand where we are approaching normality, it could be easy to forget the struggles that continue in other countries where infection numbers remain high – and growing, and where many are still suffering. Let us pause a moment each day to remember them and pray, that like us, they too will return to ‘normal’ sooner rather than later. 

As the year has been different, Christmas will be different. Some will share with family while others may not be able to. There will also be those who have lost loved ones this year. 

Whatever Christmas is like for you, one thing remains constant. Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ. If we focus on Jesus, Christmas 2020 can be special and joyful if we concentrate on the extraordinary love God has for each of us. 

We thank you for your wonderful support through this year and we look forward to being with you in 2021.

From our family to yours, we wish you a most blessed and holy Christmas where you can experience the love and joy that Christmas time brings.
