Journeying through Advent 2011

Podcasts from Northumbria Community

Following the popularity of their podcasts last Christmas and Easter, former BUGB President Roy Searle with companions of the Northumbria Community return this Advent with a brand new series. Each week they will draw on some aspect of the Advent story, a story that was to change the world. A story that is deeply sacred, which punctures the secular mindset and consumerism of our contemporary society, offering us a story that deeply touches the human heart and brings life and transformation to those who hear, and respond to, its good news and the prospect of hope and peace to a world in turbulent change.
