This
year, the Church of England’s theme for Advent and Christmas is Follow the Star.
I have been cutting out hundreds of card stars, and everyone who comes to any
events at St Nicholas’ over the coming month will be given one. The star has
five points: one for hope, one for peace, one for joy, one for love, and one
for Jesus. At every opportunity I will be inviting people to ask God for whatever
they need most right now, HOPE or PEACE or JOY or LOVE, and to write that word
as a one-word prayer on the back of the star, before folding it horizontally
along the centre of each of the five points, to made a 3D decoration, and place
it somewhere they will see it again and again as a reminder of what they have
prayed to know more of or more deeply in their lives.
