2022 Christmas Messages from Leaders of Christian Churches in Australia
‘So this is Christmas and what have you done’?
"May the grace and beauty of Christmas create hope in us and guide our actions."
NCCA and its member churches invite you to join together and pray for hope and compassion this Christmas.
President's reflection
Well we are in Advent and in this season we focus in the immediate and the far off future.
In Advent we are invited to look forward with hope and expectation to the coming reign of God and to prepare for Christmas. This is a season of the ‘already and not yet’.
Act for Peace
Give Hope this Christmas
- ‘Gifts for Peace’: order by 6 December 2022 to receive a physical card
- Advent Resources: to use with your congregation, either in person or online.
