Reflection

We may be very familiar with the story of Jesus’ birth or it may be quite new. Sometimes it can be hard to appreciate just how amazing this story really is. By hearing different people from this community each read a part of the story and by taking your own turn to read some aloud, we can experience the story in community.

We are all unique and we all bring our unique selves to the reading and listening of this story. But the transforming power of the story of Christmas is available to each of us.

We get to tell the gospel, this story of good news, to each other – to speak and proclaim how true and great it is. In doing this, we keep alive this story that has been passed down through generation to generation of our faith. We take our places in the chain of believers through history and throughout the world who find hope and purpose in the story of Jesus.
