This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped
in cloths and lying in a manger.’
Luke 2:12
At Christmas the angel song rings out, ‘Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth.’ (Lk 2 :14 – NLT) Such a beautiful sentiment and yet for many of us Christmas can be the busiest and potentially most difficult time of year. The advent season is God’s call on our lives to pause and experience that promised peace. The availability of this peace is contingent however upon the one we find in the manger. Christmas offers a lot of wonderful things but these things can so easily find their way into the centre of the nativity scene comfortably resting in the place that is reserved for Jesus. Join us this December in ensuring Jesus takes his proper place at the centre of Christmas in his manger bed.

Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care
And fit us for heaven to live with thee there
– Away In A Manger
