What is your wish for Christmas?

Also this morning, we had the opportunity to share our Christmas wish for our world, our communitites and/or our families.

If you weren't there, please feel free to share your Christmas wish.

If you were there, please post your wish...you've had more time to think about it so it might even of change (or you might have thought of another one!)

How far is it to Bethlehem?


In FOJ Club today we were looking at the journey that Mary and Joseph took to get them to Bethlehem. It must have been a pretty horrendous journey....although the stories we read make it all sound very lovely!


What is the longest journey you have ever taken and what was it like?


I'm guessing it wasn't as bumpy as Mary and Joseph's!!

Patience - King David

Although David was annointed at an early age, to be King, it didn't happen straight away. God made him wait....during that waiting time, life wasn't easy for David, but God was faithful.

I wonder what you are waiting for....don't give up...be patient...God is faithful.

Patience - Michael Jordan

On Sunday we thought about patience. Michael Jordan didn't become such a talented basketball player over night...it took practice, determination....and patience!

FOJ Essentials.

In FOJ club, this coming Sunday, we will spend some time thinking about the question

"What are we doing here?!"

Below, you will see the four FOJ Essentials - the four things the FOJ team want 'FOJ-ers' to be really good at.


Give these Essentials some thought before Sunday.
Are you any good at any of these Essentials already?
How do you know?
What can we do to make sure we achieve these Essentials?
How will we know we've achieved them? What will it look like?
Post a comment to share your ideas and have them ready to share on Sunday morning.

Our new church building

This Sunday will be our last opportunity to worship together at the URC as we will be returning to our new Army hall the following week.

We have been at the URC for a year.

How do you feel about going back to our own building?

What things are you looking forward to?
What things are you going to miss about the URC?

"...do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will care of itself..."
