Welcome to this weekend’s Sunday Online at Encounter Vineyard. If you are here for the first time, thank you for joining us. We are thrilled that you want to be part of this celebration. If you are a part of our regular extended family then welcome back!

As a church we are now in the Season of Advent, the season that includes the four Sundays that lead us up to Christmas and during this season we are in a series called ‘Worthy’ 

In the morning celebration we were excited to have Patrick Regan OBE who came to speak again. Patrick is a well-known speaker, writer and mental health and social justice advocate. He was the founder of the youth charity XLP and he and his wife Diane founded Kintsugi Hope, a course that we run here at Encounter and that has been a blessing to many.

In the evening Mark will continue our Advent series with a message called ‘Behold the Worthy One.’ This message will be available after our evening celebration.

We hope that you enjoy worshipping and celebrating with us today and, we pray that today would be a blessing for us all.
