In adoration and praise they gave him their devotion. Then, in the overflow of certitude, they gave him their gifts. "In the act of worship they finally understood that they came not to see, not Co talk, not to gain honour, but to do reverence. It is only in the spirit of love we truly worship. That is the meaning of the Advent journey." he said. Glen Hayter greeted the congrega- tion and Troyann Cole, Pauline Bell, Starr Jesney and Stiaron Wurm were the ushers.
