You are receiving this email because you have subscribed to my Food For Faith daily reflections for Advent.

Tomorrow, the day before the First Sunday of Advent will be the first of these encouragement.

In Aotearoa these pre-Christmas weeks are made even busier by end of school and work year functions. Even and especially in this busyness I invite you to join me in taking a couple of minutes each day until Christmas to ease the busyness and focus on the reason for this season.

ADVENT Brief daily encouragements begin again later this week, every morning in your inbox for those who are receiving today’s update email. Encourage others to sign up at www.foodforfaith.org.nz. Share the following sentence (cut and paste) with your parish, school or chaplaincy newsletter editor: FOOD FOR FAITH FOR ADVENT. Sign up at www.foodforfaith.org.nz to prepare for Christmas by receiving daily email encouragements with Fr. John O’Connor.

CAFE GATHERINGS One of the FFF successes in recent years has been the Cafe gatherings. Send me a date, time and cafe name with your first name & I’ll add these to the daily Advent posts. Then turn up, scribble FFF on a napkin in the centre of the table, and wait to see who arrives. Then simply chat for an hour about your experiences of Christ.

THANK YOU to all who support this FFF mission with your prayer, by telling others about these Advent reflections.

Gratefully
with Christ
