Advent Hope

It is a special week at Woodstock Christian School. Students and staff are so pleased to offer our community a gift of hope and light through three performances of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", a heroic tale of love, faith, courage and giving based on the first book of the classic Narnia series by C.S. Lewis. The Land of Narnia in which it is "...always winter but never Christmas" through the rule of the Wicked White Witch is transformed when a prophecy about two daughters of Eve and two sons of Adam appearing comes true and when the King, the Mighty Aslan returns. Spring, a warming up of the land, returns to Narnia.

Please come to hear and see this story which parallels the greatest story ever told - the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ! In this time of advent, in longing expectation we await the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, just as the nation of Narnia waited for the return of Aslan. I pray we will continually pray and long for that day when all brokenness and pain and suffering and darkness will be ended and "The Whole Earth will be Filled with the Glory of God" in a way that today we can only imagine!
