Ministers call for pause to consider Christmas meaning

As Christmas approaches, the Brisbane Water Ministers' Association is urging local residents to pause and consider its real meaning and not be blinded by the commercial hype of the season.

Several churches, including Anglican, Baptist, Catholic, Lutheran, Salvation Army, and Uniting Church, are coming together to celebrate the birth of Jesus in a Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols.

Together, residents will sing Christmas carols and retell the nativity story of Jesus' birth and how it was foretold generations earlier by the prophet Isaiah.

There will be the opportunity to hear about the great work of World Vision Australia, a Christian organisation that works with children, families, and communities to overcome poverty and injustice throughout the world.

The event will be held on Saturday, December 23, at St Luke's Anglican Church, 151 Blackwall Rd, Woy Woy, at 7pm and is open to the public.
