ADVENT WEEK TWO AND BEING A WELCOMING CHURCH

Post date: Nov 28, 2014 3:09:09 PM

The theme of “Welcoming” was taken up by Bishop John Sherrington at the recent diocesan day on Families and Faith.  He spoke about ways we can attract people to the Church, and keep those we have already, by our attitude to our faith.  No-one is attracted by gloomy and inward looking people, so we need to find ways to keep refreshing our faith; be aware of other people; and support them through difficult times so that we can journey together towards the Light that is always shining in front of us.
