#Light For Ukraine

Thursday 16th Jan 2025

The Ukrainian star on our Christmas tree has on its reverse side a crib, and this crib signifies God’s real and tangible commitment to the world through becoming a vulnerable human baby. The Christmas story isn’t an escape from the harsh reality of the world but God’s way of engaging with that reality…
We have much of about which to be worried, much to be concerned, and much to lament, but let that lament be the doorway to a new hope. Let’s be bold enough to imagine a new future in which the devastated cities are rebuilt, the broken hearts mended, the tears wiped away. May God give us hearts open to the needs of the world, minds prayerful and compassionate, souls nourished by faith, and inspired by hope.
