Day 1 - Refugees
The Mothers' Union started our Advent Journey with a poignant and moving reflection on the status of Mary, Joseph and Jesus as refugees - having to travel vast distances to register and then flee to Egypt to escape.
The challenges faced by people in the same parts of the world today were highlighted by slides projected onto the canvas wall, hand-prints from refugee children and a moving poem that provokes us to consider our ideas, opinions and feelings further.
How are we to react to the crisis of refugees before us?
With the Christmas lights and glitter - it is easy to miss the reality of Jesus' start to life on Earth, as well as the plight of our modern day neighbours.

Day 2 - The Wise Men
The Wise Men continue our theme of travel for this Christmas Story.
We journeyed to Wheeler Avenue to reflect on who the wise men may have been and how they followed a new star, marking the birth of a new king. With a roaring camp fire, food, music and wine to refresh us; we had time and space to discuss advent and the Christmas story.
