What contrasting crowd experiences can be had in Shepherds Bush this December! Westfield is in full bloom – with tens of thousands of shoppers every day, taking the walk under the undulating umbrellas of glass. Across the road, BBC staff scuttle in and out of Television Centre, putting finishing touches on production and admin for holiday season broadcasts. More densely packed still, will be Loftus Road when QPR kick-off their two remaining home games of the year. Churches with their Christmas events are into their most attended month in the calendar. Every 20 seconds, cars in narrow streets menacingly approach each other, vying for any vacated parking bay. Have you given God a space?
In our Christmas services at St Simon’s, we are looking at the word ‘Offering.’ The world is celebrating a season which recognises God’s offering of himself: Jesus Christ, the greatest present ever given. God becomes man. We can relate to him, as he relates to us.
Are you going to offer anything back to him?
