On Candlemas it is a tradition for Christians to bring their candles to their local church, where they are blessed and then used for the rest of the year. These blessed candles serve as a symbol of Jesus Christ, who is the Light of the World. Next Sunday, if you are attending church, you are invited to bring one candle from your home, perhaps the one you use for private prayer, and it will be blessed. As you leave church next Sunday, you will be given a lighted candle, a symbol, taking the Light and Love of Jesus Christ with you and to others.
Come and meet others from all the churches in our Deanery, get to know each other and hear how we share the Good News of Jesus Christ in our communities.Refreshments served.
Ruby arrived with her toy pets and was busy, happily pushing them round church as people gathered. You may recall that Ruby was our ‘baby Jesus’ in the Roaming Nativity in December. A part she did very well!
