Leigh Memorial Church, Parramatta Mission brought together people of different faiths and cultural backgrounds to celebrate Jesus’ birth and the peaceful world God envisions for us all.

Faith and cultural leaders as well as members of the wider community gathered for the third annual Christmas Peace Dinner on December 2.

In Advent we reflect on all that this season means to us personally and for God’s world, the countdown to a joyous birth, the beginning of the journey through life to death and salvation.
