Advent: Characters of Christmas - Pt 1. Anna

This Advent season, we’ll be reflecting on the lives of the characters from the first Christmas, looking at how their encounters with God’s presence can inspire and challenge how we approach Him today.

This Sunday, Alisha spoke on one of the lesser-known characters of the first Christmas: Anna. She’ll asked the question—are we recognising God’s presence right in front of us, just like Anna did?
