This weeks message has been written by Rev . Graham Fowell and he reflects on the opening of Mark's gospel as the ' beginning of the good news '. Advent is certainly good news and as he traces the origin of the word and its meaning to Roman times it points us us to the coming of God himself in the form of a baby ,Jesus Christ. Rev. Fowell asks us to consider during this busy Advent season to give more time to wait upon God so that he may inhabit our hearts . Our prayers this week have been written by Ann Ramsey.
