Christmas is a wonderful time for us to reflect on the coming of Jesus… and it’s also a great time for people to come to Jesus!
This year we’re having our Christmas Eve carols at 6pm on the lawn, and we’re also starting the afternoon with some all-age games from 5pm, along with our classic sausage sizzle… including the famous ‘Zooper Dooper Wheelbarrow!’
After the outdoor service we’ll be sharing supper from 7pm, along with more, all-age games, together.
Then the day after join us on Christmas Day at 9am in church with a normal feel, but with an extra-special opportunity to reflect together about the miracle of God becoming human to save us… the thrill of hope!
We’re praying that this will be a really special Christmas at Jamberoo Anglican, and that through the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day events that even more people in our village, valley and region will know how to follow Jesus and why it matters… especially at Christmas!
This Sunday, Jodie McNeill finishes up our sermon series ‘Isaiah: Complete Comfort’ with Isaiah 66:1-24 called, ‘The Ultimate Comfort’.
McNeill Farewell
This Sunday we will be holding a special, combined church service at 4pm, which means we won’t meet on that day at 9am.

It has been said that most people don’t like change. I know I don’t! I like the familiarity of routine and structure. Change makes us uncomfortable because of the unknown. Change is generally viewed from a negative perspective and some changes are more difficult to bear than others.
Embracing change can be a scary concept, but it can also strengthen our faith.
Change shakes us up, pushes us out of our comfort zones, and challenges us to grow. But during that, it also offers us a unique opportunity to deepen our faith.
At Jamberoo Anglican, we are heading into a period of change with Jodie and Mandy heading off to the exciting world of GAFCON. For most of us, this will be a difficult change.
Change often requires us to let go of what we know, to make space for what could be. It’s a process of surrendering, of trusting that there’s a greater plan at work. And our faith can provide the strength and courage we need for this process. Change challenges us, but it also encourages us to lean more heavily on our faith. It pushes us to seek answers, to pray more earnestly, and to dive deeper into our beliefs. It’s during these times of change that we should find ourselves turning to our faith for guidance and comfort. Embracing change is an opportunity for spiritual growth.
Sometimes, the shared experience of change can bring us closer to others. It can be comforting to reach out to others who are facing the same changes. To share our fears, hopes and questions. As we head into this time of change, we can lean on each other with understanding and support.
As we face this change together, we can be comforted by knowing this is an opportunity for new blessings, both for us at church and for Jodie and Mandy as they also leave the familiar for amazing new opportunities.
We can be comforted by remembering that it’s not an end. It’s the beginning of something new.
This weekend Jodie McNeill will continue preaching our sermon series ‘Isaiah: Complete Comfort’, titled ‘The Time of Comfort’ from Isaiah 61:1-11.
This weekend we have the following questions for our Question Time:
1 After December 15, will there be a question time in church? And if so, who will do it.
Time is running out if you would like to ask Jodie a question! Question time with Jodie will finish this Sunday, the 8th of December 2024. To get your question in please email the office office@jamberooanglican.com.
Every day (except Sundays) we meet at 7am online for an online half-hour morning prayer time at zoom.jamberooanglican.com and you’re very welcome to join us!
After church we’ll have brunch in the morning and dinner in the evening, so there’s plenty of time to chat and chew, together!
See you on Sunday, God willing!

This week, the people of the United States of America celebrated their annual Thanksgiving Day holiday.
In November 1621, following their first successful corn harvest, the Plymouth colonists from England invited the Native American Wampanoag people to share a celebratory feast which is acknowledged as the first Thanksgiving celebration in the colonies.
For Christians, Thanksgiving should be more than an end-of-November feast – it should be a lifestyle. Thanksgiving for Christians should mean that we maintain an attitude of gratitude towards God every day.
It is more than just saying “thank you.”
Acknowledging God and His blessings, and giving thanks is deeply rooted in the Christian faith. Throughout the Bible, we are encouraged to give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for us. (1 Thess 5:18)
The first thanksgiving feast we see in the Bible is mentioned in Deuteronomy, called The Feast of Weeks where God instructed the Israelites to establish a thanksgiving festival to honour the Lord.
More applicable to us today is The Lord’s Supper – a Christian custom that commemorates Jesus’ final meal with his disciples and is a central act of Christian worship. It is a ‘meal’ of remembrance and hope with an underlying expression of thankfulness for the saving death and resurrection of Christ.
By remembering what Jesus did for us, our lives are grounded in his finished work for us. It isn’t a way you can earn your salvation; it is a thanksgiving meal for those who are saved. It doesn’t add anything to the finished work of Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice but confirms it and strengthens us in him.
Because of all that it is, we come to the Lord’s Supper with both humility and joy as God’s dearly loved children to be reminded of who we are in Christ. To be strengthened by him as we meet with him by faith, and to whet our appetite for that day when we will enjoy with our Saviour the ultimate Thanksgiving Day feast.
