The Place to Be & Meet Together

In the run up to Christmas what are you looking forward to? Have you ordered something a little special for yourself? Or are you filled with anticipation of what family and friends may have in store for you? Perhaps you’re not so fortunate, money may be too tight to buy and give gifts; or you may be on your own. What does Christmas hold for you?

When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. They asked each other, ‘Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?'

LUKE 24:30–32
