It was a great joy this week to host our annual part of carols nights! I'm so thankful to God for the way in which people prayed, planned, rehearsed, led, served, welcomed, gave, invited, and generously worked with one another for the glory of one! We estimate that we welcomed around 750 people over the two nights (with more online). There were so many positive comments, with many expressing their deep appreciation for the generous use of people's gifts along with the sincere welcome. We also probably had more Bibles and books given away than ever before. Thank you to everyone who was involved in our carols nights this week. I’d also love to encourage you to consider next steps following up carols.

• ‍Pray: Keep praying that the gospel seeds planted will take root in people's hearts. Whether or not people said 'yes' to your invitation for carols, do still invite them along to celebrate Advent with us (on Sundays), and also to come along to our Christmas services.

• Watch: We've published a couple of videos from the evening here on our website: stbarts.com.au/christmasresources ‍
• Invite: In term 1 of 2025, we'll be starting our next Alpha with a launch party on February 3. Pray for those you would like to invite along and then extend a warm invitation. stbarts.com.au/alpha
