Advent 2009
What can I give Him?
It is said that there are three comings of Jesus. His first coming on earth, His second coming is in our heart, and the third is at the end of time.
During Advent we are running a series of House Groups on the theme of what GIFT we can give Jesus when he comes into our hearts this Christmas.

‘It seems to me, and I do not think I exaggerate, that most Catholics in the future, apart from their Sunday Mass, will need to belong to some form of small community.... Increasingly there will be people who come together to listen to the Word of God in Scripture, to reflect on their own lives and to pray. I often think these small communities are the secret for the future of the Church'
