Light in the darkness

Christmas is a truly special time of year when we reflect on God’s greatest gift to humanity — Jesus. In Isaiah 9:6, we read:

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

The birth of Jesus Christ, our Saviour, brings peace in chaos and conflict. True peace can only be found in Him, for He is the Prince of Peace.

This Christmas, we’ll embrace the theme of Peace and explore what it means for us today.

Below, you’ll find all the details you need — dates, times, locations, and plans — to join us in celebrating this beautiful season.
