Today our worship will be led by Chris Waddell, who is Chaplain at Melba College.
Today is also the day that we remember the ending of hostilities in World War I, plus many other conflicts since. It is right to remember those who gave their lives in these conflicts – on all sides – including the many innocent civilians and those left behind to struggle on with life. But as the people of God, we come together to worship the God of peace and to remember that war and violence are not the only way. Indeed, God’s son, Jesus Christ, has shown us a better alternative, which is the way to true peace.
Finally a reminder that Advent studies begin next week with one group meeting here at Croydon UC at 10 am on Tuesday and another group at Croydon North UC at 10 am on Friday. You are welcome to join either group, even if you haven’t officially signed up.
