And let us consider how we may spur one another on towards love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching. (Hebrews 10:24-25)
We’re at the final Sunday in Advent, and the last of our Sundays looking at being ready in Advent. The writer to the Hebrews wants us to have two things in mind as we prepare. First, the Day is coming - the day when Jesus returns. Second, that we can draw near to God because of Jesus’ death and resurrection.

We’ll be finished in time to join the Coffee Shop at 10:30.
I hope that this email is useful, and that you are able to spend a few minutes at noon each day, as we pray together as a church family. Please do keep sending your prayer suggestions to me, so that we can make sure we are praying around the needs, burdens and encouragements of our whole church family.
Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything (Philippians 4:5-6)
“The Lord is near.” What does it mean for us that the Lord is near? As we get ready for Christmas and for Jesus’ return, do we remember that the Lord is near? Do we act as if the Lord is near?
