Christmas is a time of celebration; despite the pandemic, it is still a time of ‘joy to the world’. Jesus birth is a sign of hope for the world, just as the vaccinations against Covid give us hope against the virus.
In Earley we have been working hard to give people hope in the travails of this year.
Part of this is organising a Town Council who will listen to people, working with everyone for the best in Earley. Part of it is through things like The Earley Hub, established by some of the local churches, backed by Earley Town Council, supporting people in Earley, providing, through a varied network of volunteers, someone to talk with, to collect what you need, to value and understand you – if you need help, email [email protected] or calll: 07493 784091.
I pray you have an enjoyable, blessed Christmas; however it unfolds for you.
I ask that each of you may know peace and joy, even in this awful pandemic.
Perhaps we can all be a little more open to think of others, your vulnerable neighbour, the old person across the road, the single mum who seems by herself, as well as yourself.
