December 1st is the first day of  Advent, the season that we anticipate the coming of Jesus, our Saviour. In the teaching time this week, we will be looking into the Advent theme of "Peace". 

Prophecies about Jesus call him the "Prince of Peace" and angels heralded his birth with the declaration of "Peace on Earth".  Clearly, the kingdom of God is a kingdom of peace.  But in 2024, our world is filled with conflict, war and the pain and destruction they bring and we see that the promise of "peace on earth" is not fully realized in our time.

What can we do and say as followers of Jesus to advance the cause of peace?   

In our teaching time we will reflect on the call to followers of Jesus to be travellers and guides along the path of peace.
