What matters to you most as Christmas starts to creep up on you. The season of Advent for Christians is a time of preparation to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Christ child. But of course it is a time for many other preparations too - present for gift giving and receiving, organising holiday breaks, work parties and family visiting.
Of course family is so important at this time of year, and whether you will all be together, whether folk will be missing, through distance or because they have passed, family and memories come to the fore, both good and bad.
But what about the Christmas family? Mary and Joseph, and her relative too, Elizabeth with husband Zechariah. Pastor Mike considers the importance of this new family, instituted when Mary said yes to the Angel Gabriel.
