I ask and encourage you to take just 4 minutes of your time and watch the attached video.

As our Advent journey and Christmas preparations continue, let this remind all of us that God has shared the gift of his Son with us and that the very word Christmas comes from the old english phrase 'Christe Masse’ which literally means 'the Mass of Christ'. Therefore, Christmas, while being a very special time, is nothing without ‘Christ’.

I urge you to watch this ‘share the gift' video and remind others of the real reason for Christmas.
