Christmas Is Coming!
December 7th is the Second Sunday of Advent and we continue our journey of the Festive Season towards the celebration of Christmas. This week’s theme is Peace.
Wednesday, December 10th at 7pm
Advent Study Series with Dr Mark Isaac Dalgleish
Reawakening Hope, Preparing the Way, and Becoming Christ in the World. This series invites MCC Sydney to enter Advent not only as a liturgical season but as a sacred reorientation toward life, love, and new purpose.
This Week – Peace – Making Room
The peace of Advent isn’t passive—it’s the result of clearing the clutter, letting go, and creating space for something holy to be born.
Reflections:
• What must we release to make space for new life?
• Where are we being invited to repent—not in shame, but in joyful return?
• How can we prepare the way for a new kind of peace in our church?
