Welcome to this week's worship, my first for Advent 2025.

As well as the Christmas story of how Jesus came to earth, sent by God to be the Saviour for all, there are many, many hundreds of traditional tales all around the world to help explain some of the things people do each year.

This week I am sharing a story from Ukraine to help explain how tinsel came about. Is the story true? Who knows!  What is important is what we can learn from it.

I hope you enjoy it and leave a comment to share with everyone what you have learnt from it.
