Celebrating life interrupted

​Between BC and AD is a singular historical event - the birth of an extraordinary baby and the unusual circumstances surrounding this event. The story of Jesus' conception and birth reads like one of the more unusual and fanciful plot lines from Days of Our Lives. It's 'pregnant' (excuse the pun) with all sorts of social scandal, bizarre hardship, and odd characters dragged in to witness something that would not normally be their concern. Gossip about Jesus has run rife ever since. We're still talking about him today, 2000 years later.

His affects on the world have caused a division in history because of his arrival. We live knowing there was a time Before Christ, and that today we are in the Year of our Lord (Anno Domini). The course of history itself has been interrupted and sent in a new direction because of the birth of Jesus.

Still today the flow of our lives are interrupted as we celebrate this day, whether people follow Jesus or not. His influence on our culture is so profound we still take this time to suspend our busy lives and leave work and school behind to gather around a table with family, sharing food, presents and each other’s company. 

Jesus is all about life interrupted. We invite you to interrupt your usual activities on Christmas Eve and join us in celebrating the coming of the life interrupter. You won’t be disappointed.

Monday 24 December, 8-9pm, Chapel Hill Community Church.
