Please find this week’s Sunday Connections below. This will be our last one for 2018! I hope that amongst the last few weeks of Advent everyone has found some inspiration and encouragement in celebrating the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ this year. SundayConnection_16.12.2018

Merry Christmas,

Our Newhaven Sheep Nativity Trail is well underway and our sheep have had some happy visitors already! Will you find our sheep hidden across Newhaven and help us tell the Christmas Story? How does it work you ask?
Please enjoy this week’s Sunday Connection attached. This is an opportunity to connect to our Sunday children and youth lessons throughout the week. This week’s edition also includes some exciting links that creatively tell the Christmas story, as well as links to interesting articles to help us support one another at Christmas time! Please enjoy!-Cassie SundayConnection_09.12.2018
Readings:
In this sermon, on the second Sunday of Advent, Rev Bluett considered the importance and meaning of hope. He looked at various stories in which hope flowered even in the midst of uncertainty and difficulty.

We had a great turnout to our annual Ceilidh in aid of Kampi Disabled Children’s Trust on Saturday evening. An evening of dancing, singing and music was enjoyed by all and over £1,000 pounds was raised for the charity. A great success!
This week we were visited by Katie McGlew who ran a Godly Play session for all three children’s groups on the story of Abraham and Sarah; therefore, this Sunday connection is a one for all. Please click the following link and enjoy. Sunday Connections_
