Alternative advent

Posted by Sean Harris on 17 Nov 2006

Have you ventured past Fenwicks' window recently? I won't ruin the surprise except to say that the festive decorations on display bear no message of Christmas at all. Unless, that is, giants had a 'big' role to play in the coming of Christ...

But after all, Christmas is just for kids, right? Or, is it simply about giving? Festive joy? Maybe we would all agree that the main part of Christmas is about stuffiing ourselves stupid. And... why on earth are we talking about just one day in December when it's the middle of November?

Confused about Christmas? This Sunday the HBC I.D Youth Group (15-18s) are going to be leading the evening service, and in it they will be addressing the issue of how the real meaning of Christmas has been confused in today's consumer world. Why not join them as they attempt to help us revise our own approach to advent and discover Christmas the way God intends us to?
HBC, Evening service, Sunday November 19th, 6pm to 7pm(ish)
Parental advisory: The service will not be suitable for young children pinning all their hope on the big guy in the red suit visiting them this year!
