Advent and Christmas are important times in the life of our Church. Advent is a time of expectant waiting and preparation, ahead of celebrating Jesus' birth. At Christmas, we don't simply celebrate and give thanks to God, for Jesus' birth; we look forward too, to Jesus' return. This year, in addition to weekly Morning Worship, we have a series of special services and events... and you're very welcome to join with us, at any of them.

Everyone at Moira Methodist Church wishes you a peaceful Christmas and God's richest blessing, throughout the year ahead.

'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.'

John Ch.1 vs.1-5
