CHRISTMAS AT ST JOHN'S

This Christmas, there’s so much to look forward to! As we explore the themes of hope, peace, joy and love, we’ll discover the beautiful names Isaiah gives to Jesus. . . the promised Saviour who brings light into our darkness. Just as the carol 'O Little Town of Bethlehem' reminds us, “In the dark streets shineth, the everlasting Light", Jesus is the light of the world, bringing hope that shines through every darkness.
