Today is the start of the season of Advent - as Christians prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
Traditionally this is a time for reflection, deepening of faith and relationship with God.
This is the first of what will be weekly offerings for each Sunday in Advent.
Advent is nearly here.
This video acknowledges everyday pressures, and in the middle of all the chaos, invites us to pause and think about what matters most to us right now.
Whatever your beliefs or background, may season bring you glimmers of hope, peace, joy and love.
This time of year can be a lot, can’t it? The noise of all those expectations can be so loud! This Advent and Christmas, you are invited to #HushTheNoise, beginning with watching our Christmas film.
We encourage you to share this with your communities, and listen for the love song that the angels sing in all the conversations we have and people we meet this season.
This coming Sunday 1st December we hold our annual QMC Children's Remembrance Services in the Chapel, 11.30am and 2.30pm. All welcome.
For those unable to attend in person, from Sunday there will also be a pre-recorded video service online: https://t.co/HkuXWX18G2
