HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
Over the next few days, billions of us around the world celebrate God come to earth as a baby, born to live amongst us. He grew up as an impoverished Middle Eastern refugee some 2,000 years ago, yet this Jesus (Yeshua) changed the course of the world forever.
Let me tell you some of his story.
This is just a short extract from near the beginning of the adventure. When Maryam, a young, poor, and no doubt terrified girl living in first-century Palestine, gives birth in a run-down animal pen, to a baby who was foretold for hundreds of years.
Yet she was not alone. And she never would be. Because this was the moment that God Almighty broke into our fallen world in person…
To many of us, it is undoubtedly:
The Greatest Story Ever Told.

His whole story, told like you’ve never heard it before, thriller, & love story, it’s coming soon…
@criminographer Your recent broadcasts were heartfelt and very significant. I know the day will pass but the memories will linger with tears of grief and remembered joy intermingled. Let them flow…
@criminographer I feel deeply for you at this time of year and absorbing the new information. For me Nov is filled with memories of loss 3yrs ago and now compounded by my mum’s death a month ago. The most important women in my life have gone leaving gaping holes. Friendships are now essential.
Don't forget our annual Christingle services are taking place tomorrow! All are very welcome to come along to St Peter's at 3pm or 5pm, or Toton Methodist Church at 4pm for oranges, candles, sweeties and songs. The perfect opportunity to celebrate Christmas as a family.
The whole family is welcome to join us for one of our Christingle services this Christmas Eve. There will be oranges, candles, sweeties and songs, so don’t miss out! For full details, plus details of all our other Christmas services, please see link in bio.
On Saturday 9th & Sunday 10th December, Toton Churches will be hosting its first ever Nativity Festival. We need YOU to help us transport Toton to the heart of Bethlehem and celebrate the first Christmas! Details coming soon - put the dates in your diary so you don't miss out!
Don't miss our Messy Church event this Sunday, 5th November, 4pm at Toton Methodist Church. We're looking forward to worship around the firepit, sparkler prayers, and hot dogs and mushy peas! All are very welcome.
@ChrisClarksonMP Your third Paragraph shots your own argument in the foot. If her statement was untrue, say that. Linking it with rail strikes, unions and party funding shows exactly what you are motivated by. And it’s not truth and honesty.
@criminographer The sunshine will always warm your heart and brighten darker days. It’ll never diminish but bright times in your new (unwanted) reality can still warm your heart today in new and unexpected ways. I’m learning to enjoy the bright spots that way, unashamedly feeling today’s joy.
England may not have made the final, but there's still a great evening to be had at our Rugby World Cup screening this Saturday evening at St Peter's. Tickets are available until 5pm Thursday - book online via link in bio.
Following our introductory session last week, Alpha starts tomorrow evening, Thursday 5th October, 7.30pm at St. Peter's Church (NG9 6EN). It's not too late to decide to join us!
