Winter 2025 Vital Link Newsletter: When Hope Rolls In

Welcome to the Winter 2025 Vital Link newsletter from Through the Roof.

Our 2025 series concludes, exploring the Disability Awareness Sunday theme: ‘Made in God’s Image’.

This issue, we focus on the final keyword in our 2025 theme: ‘Image’. So, as we prepare for Advent, we remember how God came down to Earth, bearing a human image, in Jesus.
