YATE PARISH
MAKING JESUS VISIBLE
Parish Office 01454 313105 St Nix Office 01454 324712
This year Christmas will not be like any other which any of us have experienced, this year hasn’t been either. It is a type of bereavement where we grieve for the Christmas we wanted, the family, friends and traditional celebrations. Many of these will not be possible this year. The Church of England has given us the theme of Comfort and Joy this Christmas. The message of Christmas can bring Comfort and Joy to all those who are struggling this year.
Throughout December we will be publishing daily messages of Comfort and Joy. These will be:
Carols
Pictures
Podcasts
Inspiring readings
and poetry
All of this content can be found below as it is posted throughout December.
Find out how you and your family can get involved in spreading Comfort and Joy by Clicking Here
