Strength in weakness

Prepare the way.
In todays 'All age worship' service, Rachel tells us how John the Baptist was not worried about what other people thought of him as long as he was able to proclaim the good news of what God was about to do by sending Jesus. (Sadly the dramatic re-enactment of the encounter between John the Baptist and the religious correspondent from the Jerusalem Herald was not recorded with sufficient clarity for reproduction here!) Fiona then helps us all to think of how we can make Jesus the centre of our Christmas. The YouTube clip that Fiona had hoped to show is here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3Wllpq0wBU
