St John’s Kids – 20 December 2020

St John’s Kids – 20 December 2020

 Sunday 20 December:

Access our streamed services here.

This week is the fourth Sunday of Advent – the season in the lead up to Christmas, when we prepare for the coming of Jesus. In our services, we have been lighting a candle each week to remind us that Jesus brings light into the world. Today we light the fourth candle, LOVE.

We worship a God of love. He shows his love through his plans for our lives and all that he provides for us. At Christmas we celebrate his ultimate outpouring of love – sending his son into the world as a human baby, to be the perfect example of love, and to die to save us.

This week we finish our current series of talks – Hebrews: Faith in the Dark

Activities, if needed to keep hands busy during Kirk’s talk:

 

Don’t forget … the St John’s Kids Family Picnic is TODAY!

Some of the St John’s Kids team will be there with Christmas activity packs for the kids. So, come for lunch (BYO picnic – there are also BBQ facilities available) or an afternoon play, or just drop by for a quick hello and collect your pack if you have other commitments. We look forward to seeing you in-person!
