Welcome to Christ Church! We are an oasis of hope, healing, and joy.
We fundamentally believe that joy is at the heart of the Gospel,
the good news of Jesus Christ.
Vulnerability
vulnerability doesn’t mean telling others what happened to us
from across a cafe table or from behind a microphone
and then going home from the experience feeling just as alone as you did before
vulnerability means allowing your human heart blanket to get sewn to other heart blankets
it’s about connection
we don’t share for status
we do it for synergy
we don’t confess for clout
we do it to build community
we tell our tale
to invite others
to tell theirs
it’s the sacred cycle
of storytelling
we gather in a circle of trust and
say “here is my journey”
then we listen to
the other journeys
that are shared
we take space
then we give space
we pour
then we absorb
we speak
then we listen
we are storytellers
then we are witnesses
vulnerability isn’t just about
grave digging in our past
to expose our skeletons
it’s about sewing quilts
here is my patch
here is your patch
here is their patch
here is us
here is our story

COME AND SHARE IN THE JOY AT CHRIST CHURCH !!
Sunday 1 December marks the first Sunday of Advent. Advent is a season of expectation and preparation, as the Church prepares to celebrate the coming (adventus) of Christ in his incarnation, and also looks forward to his final advent as judge at the end of time. The readings and liturgies not only direct us towards Christ’s birth, but they also challenge the modern reluctance to confront the theme of divine judgement.
HOPE - ‘The Prophecy Candle’- The first candle symbolises a shining light in the anticipation of the coming of Christ.
PEACE - ‘The Bethlehem Candle’ - This candle reminds us of Mary and Joseph's journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem before Mary gave birth to Jesus.
JOY - ‘The Shepherd's Candle’ - With the third candle, we remember to rejoice in Christ's birth as we turn from repentance.
LOVE - ‘The Angel's Candle’ - The final Advent candle marks the beginning of the final week before Christmas. It represents purity, justice and peace brought to the world by Christ.
COME AND SHARE IN THE JOY!
ALL ARE WELCOME!!
Christ Church is part of the fabric of what makes Dubai good. We do that by witnessing to the saving grace of God in Christ Jesus.
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved
Mark 16:16
I have found the one whom my soul loves
Song of Solomon 3:4
