Happy Advent

Tomorrow is Advent Sunday. I always tell people in my sermons for Advent Sunday that it is about preparing for our Lord's second coming, but tomorrow I am going to be preaching on preparing for Christmas, and encouraging everyone to go and see film, The Nativity, which has just been released in many countries and which will be released here next week. This is a great opportunity to encourage people who do not normally go to Church to go to see a film that will, hopefully, prepare them for Christmas. People I respect who have seen it are full of praise for it. If you would like to read a review of it, this is a good one:
