St. Anne, Aigburth Innobella Media

Mary is greeted by Gabriel and told she is highly favoured, that God's grace will rest upon her. How does she respond? With faith and wisdom. What about us, how would we respond? How do we respond when God calls us into the unknown? A quick look at what it means to follow God's call on our lives.

In this week's Wednesday Reflection, Rev. Ian Greenwood discusses the start of Advent and what it means for us today. As a time of preparation in the church calendar advent is about us being prepared for Christ's birth, celebrated at Christmas. Advent also reminds us of Jesus' second coming too, and that we have a choice: what we do now, with the life we've been given and to be in a relationship with God to get ready for the Lord's return.

With Advent just around the corner and the run-up to Christmas, Ian discusses the culture of waiting in our society and habits today - looking at how we wait for the coming of Jesus, the King of the World. He also discusses the "Reverse Advent Calendar" being organised by Micah Liverpool. (More information at https://micahliverpool.com/)
