YIC has attended North Hobart Uniting Church for the last 4 weeks. It's the closest church to Riz & Kiz's house and Kiz's mother Margaret attends the church. This morning, the church was getting into the Christmas spirit with stirring renditions of Hark the Herald Angels Sing and Once in Royal David's City. They were also lighting their Advent candles. Unlike the Anglican Church which focuses on Mary, John the Baptist etc for the candles, the Uniting Church gives each candle different meanings: peace, joy, hope and love.
As a visitor to numerous churches over the last few months, YIC appreciates those churches that give a friendly welcome. North Hobart scores very highly on this front.
