‘How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!... For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore’ (Psalm 133:1,3)
This week I went along to ‘Tennis and Talk’ run by Claire Frewer! It was so much fun to play and really special to chat about life and faith over coffee and delicious toffee cake! Among the group there were representatives from St Joseph's, URC, Christ Church Brockham and St Paul’s. We shared the struggles and joys in our lives and I was really struck by a sense of unity and mutual support in the group. It really felt like a ‘little fire’ of God’s kingdom in our community!
One person shared the preparations that the URC are making for the Dorking Christmas Festival this Advent Sunday (28th November) and asked us to pray and support them. There will be lots of activities around the theme ‘Stepping Out Towards the Stable’ to help people of all ages to start their journey towards celebrating the birth of Jesus at Christmas! As we think about how we might want to spend Advent, preparing room in our hearts for the coming of Jesus, perhaps there are ways we can journey through Advent alongside other Christians. If you are free on Sunday afternoon from 1pm, do think about popping along to the URC - the details can be found below!
With love, Becky
