This Sunday, the first of Christmas, was clear and frosty and the wind had died down. The Sunday after Christmas is traditionally a celebration of the Holy Family, but also in the Gospel today the story of the Massacre of the Innocents. This theme was taken up by Father Stephen in his sermon, discussing the horror of Herod's act of killing all the boy children under 2 years to try to prevent Jesus growing up. He reminded us that children are killed every day in the conflicts going on in Syria and in Africa, but that we must be the lights of Christian faith in such a dark and dreadful world.

' Where Mary kneels with in the lantern glow
To watch her baby lying in the hay
And think about the wonder of his birth
And as he sleeps to fold her hands and pray
For peace to come upon this troubled earth'
Our closing hymn, 'It came upon a Midnight Clear' completed our service following the same thoughts.
And so the year draws to a close, and we wish everyone a Peaceful and Joyful New Year.
