This will be the first Christmas in 3 years that is more or less back to normal for most people, following the challenges of the pandemic. That said, the world feels far from normal, with war raging in Europe, famine in many countries getting worse, and a cost of living crisis that challenges many, and specifically the poorest.
It was to bring hope in such circumstances that Christ first came, and it is our prayer that whatever you and your loved ones are facing, that you will know his peace, hope, comfort and joy this Christmas.
