    ADVENT & CHRISTMAS 2018

    Advent is the season of waiting and preparation for Christmas

    and begins on Sunday 2 December. 

     

    When you come to Advent services you will find no “Christmas Carols” but Advent music and carols which emphasise the longing of the people of God for the coming of God amongst them.

     

    This year we are focussing on the characters of Advent: Zechariah and Elizabeth, John the Baptist, Mary and Joseph.

     

    On Sunday 9 December we have an Evensong with the Auckland Youth Choir at 5pm. 

     

    On Sunday 16 December at 8pm we start getting a taste of Christmas with our Service of Christmas Readings and Carols. The St Matthew’s Voices will sing Christmas music. Bubbles and strawberries to follow. 

     

    This service is hosted jointly with the Auckland Rainbow Community Church.

     

     

    Then we get to Christmas!
