five short pieces for Christmas


stumbled across these five short pieces for Christmas, which I thought were really useful in helping us focus on aspects of Jesus' birth that somehow often get lost in the shuffle. see what you think!

Christmas Day & Boxing Day there will be no emerge gatherings at the Undercroft, so please celebrate Jesus' birth heartily with your friends,families, and the local Christian community wherever you find yourself this time of the year!

have a very Merry Christmas and a God-filled New Year!

christmas eve december 24th

we are invited to join with our friends at St. Stephen's Church, Westmount, at 4.30 pm on Christmas Eve for their relaxed, informal and often touching, Carols by Candlelight event. it's a great way to start the celebration of Jesus' birth especially for those unfamiliar with the story. there's a party afterwards at their house next door. they tell us that everyone is welcome, and they really mean it!

Christ is coming

A beautiful advent meditation, well worth spending a quiet five minutes of your time watching and listening.

celebrate the feast!
something we have not done for a while.

gathered together on a sunday evening, to eat, talk, and to celebrate the Lord's Supper in an unfussy way! so along with catching up with one another, and taking some time to talk about the future, we will "celebrate the feast" emerge style.

meet 5.00 pm in the Undercroft.

hope to see you there!
