“We are called to be actively joyful - actively rejoicing in our privilege; the privilege of being children of God”
- Tony Plews
“When all the rest of the world would rush us out of our discomfort, and shush us into cheer, Advent calls to us - keep awake, see the need, hold the sorrow, and sit in the waiting.”
- Russell Thorp
“I had to keep choosing to hope,
But in order to sustain that hope,
I had to learn to lament;
To be real about where I was with God.
To be real about my anger, my disappointment and my fear;
To acknowledge the reality;
To bring that before God”
- Aaron Hendry
