The Bishop of St Asaph has released an Advent Message, encouraging everyone to be bearers of hope.

In the message, which will be shown or read in churches across the diocese on Advent Sunday (1 December), the Rt Revd Gregory Cameron launches a year of Bringing Hope, the second of the diocesan foci, summed up in, Growing Faith, Bringing Hope, Demonstrating Love.  

He says: “Christians should be bearers of hope. We should be people who warm the hearts of those we encounter; who create courage and positive feelings; who transform the world into being a more hopeful, better place.”

The message is available in five formats, a film (in English), an audio versions (in Welsh and English) and a letter (in Welsh and English). These are available to be shown, read or distributed during the main Advent Sunday service.

The Advent Message in film format will be available on Sunday at https://dioceseofstasaph.org.uk/bishopgregory/advent-message/ and shared on social media platforms.
