FEBRUARY  |  Rainbow

The beautiful full rainbow brightening up the stormy sky over the Chapel is a symbol of hope...

“We don’t yet see things clearly. We’re squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won’t be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We’ll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us! But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, Hope unswervingly, Love extravagantly. And the best of the three is Love." 1Cor13:12-13 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  |  2021

FOLLOW THE STAR  |  The Stable

In a stable in the town of Bethlehem, Mary gave birth to the King, baby Jesus. She swaddled him in cloth and laid him in a manger.

Every Christmas day Christians all over the world celebrate the miraculous story of the birth of King Jesus, the Christ and Lord and Saviour of all the world!

FOLLOW THE STAR  |  Jospeh

Meet Joseph in his carpenter's workshop. Joseph discovered that Mary was going to have a baby and felt confused and upset because they were not yet married. An angel visited him and said: “Do not be confused and upset, the baby is from God’s Holy Spirit and you should call him Jesus”.

FOLLOW THE STAR  |  The Star

The new star shines brightly letting everyone know a new King has been born!

FOLLOW THE STAR  |  Three Gifts

The Wise Men followed the star to Bethlehem, where it stopped over the place where Mary, Joseph and Jesus were staying. The Wise Men brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh and worshipped Jesus. God warned them in a dream not to tell King Herod where the new King was, so they went home a different way.

FOLLOW THE STAR  |  Angels

Suddenly there was a bright light in the sky and an angel appeared. The shepherds were very frightened but the angel said: “Do not be afraid, Jesus has been born and you will find him in a stable in Bethlehem.” All the angels sang, “Glory to God in the highest, and peace to everyone on earth.”

FOLLOW THE STAR  |  Shepherds

Meet the Shepherds who were looking after their sheep in the fields just outside Bethlehem...they were the first to hear the good news!
