Lord Jesus,
Master of both the light and the darkness, send your Holy Spirit upon our preparations for Christmas.
We who have so much to do seek quiet spaces to hear your voice each day.
We who are anxious over many things look forward to your coming among us.
We who are blessed in so many ways long for the complete joy of your kingdom.
We whose hearts are heavy seek the joy of your presence.
We are your people, walking in darkness, yet seeking the light.
To you we say, "Come Lord Jesus!"
Amen

As reported earlier an appointment has been made for the replacement at Victoria Dock but we are not allowed to say who until after Christmas.
Has anyone noticed the lack of religious Christmas cards this year? At home we have received many religious ones, but then a high proportion of our cards come from Christian homes.
I read with regret of the death of Rev Lawrence Hoyle in November. He was vicar at Thwing near Driffield and began Lamplugh House, a christian retreat and conference centre, in the late 1970's he then went on ( with other like minded folk) to start "Anglicans For Renewal" . I remember my first visit to lamplugh House hearing Lawrence speak on christians and comparing the life of an eagle witha christian.
Until we meet again, goodnight and may God be with you and give you peace.
