In six weeks time Christmas 2024 will be all but over, and we will have moved into that period of time that airlines and tour operators market as “Twixmas” – the days between Christmas and New Year.
However, here at MBC, while December 25th is one of the defining days in the Christian calendar, the build up right the way throughout Advent can be almost as exciting as the big day itself.
And that’s because our first “Christmas” event takes place on December 7th when between 1.30pm and 3.30 the Steel Crazy Band return to Moortown Baptist Church to once again host an afternoon of sing along carols and festive songs, book-ended by some seasonal treats and a Christmas Quiz.
The following day at 3pm (Sunday December 8th) it’s our Stepping Stones Nativity to which you are all invited.
Then the following week (15th December, starting at 3pm) we have what is fast becoming a hardy annual and that’s our wreath making workshop.
Add to this a festive Beacon on the 23rd, a Christingle Service on the 24th and the following day our traditional Christmas celebration and you’ll see why once again MBC is throwing its doors wide open and saying to everyone within earshot that God loves them, and that’s the reason for Jesus. Of course, and actually it goes without saying, at the heart of that message is an invitation for them to come along and join us any time they like.
Do look out for more information about Christmas 2024, either here on the MBC website or in Shelley’s weekly update. And remember what I told you, no matter how much or how little preparation you have made it won’t be long now!
