Women of the Nativity Reflective Service: Anna’s Story

for 30 mins

Join us as we journey through advent and Christmas with this series of short reflective services, each followed by a light breakfast. The services will take place in churches throughout our parishes and draw upon Paula Gooder’s new book ‘Women of the Nativity’. Nine imagined stories which take a fresh look at well-known bible narratives, all from the perspective of women, will guide us throughout this series of services. Whether you are able to attend all instalments of this series or not, we hope to welcome you to be a part of this journey through advent, Christmas and Ephiphany.
