I don't know about you, but I often find Advent and Christmas a real disappointment, because it has become little more than extended consumerism and often feels quite vacuous. I often feel like running off to some secluded spot away from the sloppy sentimentality and profound crap that is spread around at this time of year.

Well I am pleased that St Matthews are planning to provide 5 moments of centredness amongst the 'must buy' focus of this time of year. Advent, is an important time of year, pregnant with possibilities, as a place and time of spiritual pilgimage and excited vision as we look forward to the ultimate act of our transformation - the birth of the God-Child Redeemer and Incarnation of the Divine. The ultimate miracle of God's providence to us.

These spiritual moments are open to anyone - exploring, new to faith, returning, or seeking faith in regards to Christian Spirituality.

The course is over 5 weeks on wednesdays, 6-7.15pm, and will look at the following themes:

1. Nov 1 “All that I have is the life that I have, the life that I have is yours.”

2. Nov 8 "The life of the Trinity – our life, and the life of the Church"

3. Nov 15 "Revealing God – the place of the bible"

4. Nov 22 "Revealing God – the place of Sacred Tradition"

5. Nov 29 "Journeying with God - Prayer & Spirituality"
