You May have noticed the star twinkling brightly from the Church tower. This is to mark our participation in the Church of England’s #FollowTheStar campaign. As Advent begins this Sunday, we step up our preparation to celebrate the birth of Jesus. 

There are numerous services and events happening in the run-up to Christmas, giving the whole of our community to enter into the festive spirit, and to recognise that the celebrations were all look forward to are centred on the birth of a child in Bethlehem who would be the Saviour of the world: the one who offers each and every one of us forgiveness of sins and a share in the promise of eternal life. 

Do join us at St Paul’s, then, following the Star to our local village church, as together we follow the Star to Bethlehem, and as we give thanks for the great gift of Jesus, born in the stable, but who would be the King off kings and Lord of lords.
