Proclamation! For Sunday, 2 January 2022Reverend Shelley McVea leads us through the story of three unusual seekers who arrived in Bethlehem looking for the solution to a mystery that had drawn them on a long journey.  Who were they?

Proclamation! For the Second Sunday of Advent, Sunday, 5 December 2021 Reverend Shelley McVea confronts the clutter of her home as she decorates for Christmas and finds that sometimes we have so much clutter in our homes that we no longer have any room for the manger.  Physical clutter, emotional clutter, spiritual clutter; all these things take up space in our hearts.
