At the start of the year I like to look back on what's happened, to be thankful. Then looking forward at what is coming this year...
As we enter into December and the season of Advent there is always a risk that we overlook this time as we race towards Christmas. Throughout advent in our services we light a candle each Sunday leading up to Christmas as we think about the themes of hope, joy, love and peace.
Happy New Year? Traditionally we start the new year with resolutions to bring change to our lives, usually an attempt to start new ‘good habits’. Out with the old and in with the new!

The early images showed the devastation caused by the horrific fire – the trees were charred and much of the undergrowth was seemingly destroyed.
