If you have been following this blog, or that of my wife, you have been reading about some of the experiments that we are doing this advent season to help us focus on the true meaning of the season. With this in mind, we were really happy to get an invitation from Cam, a friend of ours from camp who works at another local church here in Milton, to a carol sing in a park not too far from our house. Kimberley, T.J. and I bundled ourselves up and headed out into the dark and quiet of night to walk to the park a few blocks away. The walk in and of itself would have been worth it; a chance to get out into the calm, quiet, starry night and walk down the streets all aglow with Christmas lights. Even before we reached the park we ran into Cheryl (Cam's wife) and had a brief opportunity to catch up before she headed off to knock on more doors and invite some more neighbours. We arrived at the park where we were greeted with hot chocolate and a song book handed out by some familiar friendly faces. Soon there was a whole group of people all gathered in the glow of a street lamp singing songs of the season together, and the name of Jesus was lifted high.
Thanks for the invite Cam!
