Join us for our advent procession with carols
An atmospheric and beautiful candlelit service of music, readings and prayers for Advent in celebration and anticipation of the arrival of Jesus Christ, the Light of the World

This Advent we shall be looking at the Nativity from the perspective of different women who were part of the story. We will be exploring the personal stories of these women - some of whom are clearly named in the bible, whilst others are fictional but someone like them might have existed. We shall be using for our studies Paula Gooder’s book ‘Women of the Nativity’ (ISBN 978-1-78140-460-7). This consists of nine imagined stories all from the perspective of women. In our three weekly study groups we shall be looking at stories based on the matriarchs and the patriarchs, the prophets and John the Baptist. They take us on a journey through Advent in this time of watching and waiting patiently for the birth of our Saviour this Christmastide. Our weekly study group will take place on Thursday 5th, 12th and 19th December at 2.30pm. We will meet in Room 2 in the Parish Centre. Please bring a bible with you. (It is not essential to have the book). Revd. Alison Wragg will lead each session. There is a sign-up sheet at the back of Church if you would like to join this group or contact the Parish Office [email protected]

We are again holding an Advent Quiet Morning on Saturday 14th December from 9.30 - 12.30 in church. Tea and coffee will be served at 9.30am and our reflections will commence at 10.00am. There will be four short reflections based on the stories of Mary and Shiphrah from ‘Women of the Nativity’ by Paula Gooder. Each reflection will be followed by a time of silence when a number of silent activities will be available at different stations in church. The morning will conclude with a silent eucharist. The morning will be led by Alison. We do hope you will make space in the busy build-up to Christmas to join us on the Advent journey and discover afresh the story of Christmas. There is a sign-up sheet at the back of Church if you would like to participate in our Advent quiet time. Alison Wragg & Sandra Green
