Hello, Welcome to Pastor's Page.  Each month this page will be updated with a short article from our Church Newsletter.  I hope you will find it both helpful and informative. Wishing you God's richest blessings. Rev. David Perry.

God is here! - 'God was in the world... And the world didn't know him' - John 1.10

'Holy Night, Silent Night, all is calm, all is bright' or is it? In the silent night of the carol our minds wander across time and space to a silent night long ago. The animals are restless. A mule brays and a cow presses against the stable floor . Nearby a nervous young husband paces the floor of the makeshift delivery room. He pauses periodically to console his wife, the love of his life. she is crying. the painful night passes and suddenly a new born infant splutters and takes his first breath of air. With a loud cry he announces his own arrival.
The Son of Righteousness has come!

As the sun rises on Christmas morning it will not go unnoticed. Children of the world fall out of bed and rush downstairs. Parents often stumble out. In a few minutes paper, ribbon and boxes push everyone out of the room. Underneath it all something, or in this case someone, is missing. God who became man in the person of Jesus is often absent. He has been forgotten.

Christmas is certainly not the time to be a 'scrooge' anf grunt 'humbug' so let's not despise the joy and excitement of the season. Use it though, as a wonderful opportunity to remind one another of the 'One who being in the world was not recognised by the world'. May the greetings we give, the cards that we send and the presents we give be motivated by our love for Christ and a desire to tell others that a baby was born - 'a forgotten child' - who is Christ the Lord!
