A Christmas Message from the Vicarage
Welcome all wonders in one sight!
Eternity shut in a span,
Summer in winter, day in night,
Heaven in earth and God in man.
Great little one whose all-embracing birth
Brings earth to heaven, stoops heaven to earth.
This Christmas comes at the end of a tumultuous year, full of too much violence and division. There is war where Jesus was born and its brutality has spread to our streets in London, and so we particularly hope that these greetings find you all in good spirit and at peace. Whilst this season is for so many a time of joy togetherness with loved ones, some of us may find ourselves feeling lonelier.
As we celebrate the joyful birth of Christ this season, we would like to remind you, as always, that St Luke is a home for everyone, regardless of your denomination, faith or relationship with spirituality. We hope that you will be encouraged to join us for respite and togetherness in celebration. You are always welcome here at St Luke’s to pray, find hope or simply sing carols, just because you like to.
May the peace of the Christ-child be yours this Christmas.
