So, Christmas is over for another year!  After all the frantic preparations, and those hectic two weeks in the life of the church as we approached the big day, it's now time to get back to normal, and shed those extra pounds that we have all put on.   What a joy it was to be reminded of the incarnation once more.  It was thrilling to remember the birth of our Saviour through the well-known Bible passages and Christmas carols.

We don't do witnessing, we are witnesses!

Did you see the story earlier this month about an air traffic controller at JFK Airport who has been suspended for taking his young son to work with him and allowing the boy to clear the planes for departure and speak to other pilots as they flew in and out of one of the world’s busiest airports? Thankfully, the incident passed off without a disaster occurring.
