`Auckland's gay-friendly church, Auckland Community Church will celebrate  Advent with a combined carol service at St. Matthew-in-the-city on Sunday 14  December at 8:00pm. 

The theme this year is 'light', There will be  biblical readings reflecting the theme and the approach of Christmas, and  also reflecting the LGBT community.  The choir will sing some carols and solo items, and  well known carols will be sung by the whole  congregation.

As in past years, there will be a collection taken  for Rainbow Youth as part of the service.

The Auckland Community Church meets each Sunday  evening for worship from 7.30pm, providing an affirming and welcoming  environment for all, and especially those who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or  transgendered. Similarly gay-friendly churches meet in Wellington and  Christchurch.
