The Christian life is often compared to a journey. We are pilgrims, growing in our appreciation of the amazing world into which we were born and seeking to know and love its Creator with all our heart, our soul, our mind and our strength. <\/p>\n
The Seasons of the Christian Year begin with the most astonishing insight that God is not remote, watching us from a distance, but is with us in the rough and tumble of everyday life. As we move through the year witnessing the major events in the life of Jesus we are inspired and challenged to follow him day by day.<\/p>\n
To help us draw nourishment from these stories each season is introduced by a Sunday morning sermon and developed in an online or face-to-face session that follows. Everyone is invited to join in, wherever you are in your faith journey. These are the highlights of the year we have chosen to celebrate: <\/p>\n<\/i> Advent<\/span><\/a> <\/i> Christmas and Epiphany<\/span><\/a> <\/i> Ordinary Time <\/span><\/a> <\/i> Easter Time <\/span><\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Christian life is often compared to a journey.
