How can such a beautiful truth cause such consternation? This time theology catch-up will get behind all the wranglings over the who, how, when and if of receiving God’s grace, delving deeper and wider into the wild abundance at the heart of Christian theology. 
 
This Advent, through the lens of the Gospel of John chapter 1, we will explore the ‘grace upon grace’ that Christians look forward to every year: the coming of Jesus Christ the Word of God. 
 
With teaching, discussion and time for reflection, come sit down, take a breath and be re-inspired by this beautiful hope, drawing on the wisdom of ages and reflecting on its meaning for us today. 
 
Take a long lunch, and don’t forget your sandwiches.
