Services on Sunday 1st December
ADVENT SUNDAY
The new Church Year begins with our celebration of Advent. We have the lighting of the first of the candles on our Advent wreath, and the switch to purple vestments to remind us we are entering a season of self-reflection. A season when Christians are asked to consider our worthiness and readiness to stand before Jesus, were he to return today, and prepare to celebrate that he did come and live among us.
On Sunday we have a special Advent Carols service with readings and beautiful seasonal songs that draw upon that theme of getting ready.
Please join us for our many services through the season of Advent.
