This Christmas, help us build stronger and more loving communities
As Irene beautifully said, “The church is a hospital”, a place where we are invited to come as we are and leave transformed by Christ.
Let us pray that the God of hope fill our communities with all joy and peace in believing, so that we may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. And may we be beacons of hope for those crushed in spirit, offering healing and love in the midst of hardship.
Selah: For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope. - Jeremiah 29:11
Tune in tomorrow to discover how your prayers can help bring hope to someone in need.
“Our members are interested in the outside world – we don’t want to be insular, and fundraising helps us engage with big issues like hardship.”
Every Thursday, Christ Church Barnet opens its doors to welcome the community for fellowship - a time to share meals, hear from visiting speakers, enjoy quizzes and bring and buy sales, and join in a short, open act of worship. People from all walks of life come together, finding connection and hope in shared faith and friendship.
Many of these gatherings include opportunities to give back, and CUF has been blessed to receive support through this spirit of generosity.

Romans 15:13 - May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Advent reminds us that hope is not wishful thinking, it’s trusting God’s promises. Let hope light your way this season.
Reflection: Take a quiet moment to ask God how you can place your hope fully in Him today. Listen with an open heart - He loves to speak to those who seek Him.
