Seasons Greetings from rhiwbina baptist church

Carols, flickering candles, stained glass images, faded nativity scenes handed down the generations. Most of us hope that sometime during the Christmas period, there will come a moment of wonder. Even the most jaded cynic fondly hopes that they will feel the power and mystery of the festive season. Maybe in a school concert, Handel’s Messiah, a reunion of old friends, we long to climb inside the magic of Christmas.

Rhiwbina Baptist Church is mad about Christmas. Whether you’re talking about Christingles, looking at loved ones faces dancing in candlelight, concerts, mince pies, O Come all ye faithful, even more mince pies, RBC is the place to be this December. The reason for our delight is simple. We believe that theinvisible, immortal God has made himself uniquely known in Jesus. Joining the human family, he lived among us, died on the cross for the wrong things in our lives that separate us all from God, rose from death to offer forgiveness and new life to all who turn to him today. Christmas is more than great. It’s extraordinary.

So pay a visit to RBC this Christmas time. Take part in the simple beauty of the Christingle service; enjoy the timeless appeal of carols by candlelight; experience the powerful stillness of Christmas eve communion or dance your feet off at our Advent Twmpath Dance.
