For the 1st Sunday in Advent we will be having our Christingle Service. This is a joyful celebration bringing our families and communities together to share the light of Jesus and spread the message of hope.
Christingle mean's Christ's light. During the Service we will all have an opportunity to make a Christingle which is made with an orange, a candle. a red ribbon and 4 sticks with fruit and sweets. When these have been made, we dim the Church lights and stand around in a circle and light our Christingles. The service ends with singing an uplifting song full of hope which is particularly relevant for the start of Advent and the message brought by the Angel to Jesus' mother, Mary.

The Holy Communion Service at 10.15am will be held at Brent Eleigh.

In the evening there will be an Advent carol Service at Kettlebaston. The time is to be decided.

The Benefice's 9 Lessons and Carol Service will be held at Brent Eleigh's Church. It will stat at 6pm. This is always a popular service singing well loved carols so please come and join us in the lovely St Mary's Church.

At 3pm on Christmas Eve our Crib Service will be at St Mary's Church, Kettlebaston. This is a lovely service especially for very excited children when the Christmas story is explained with some lovely handmade figures. The children are involved in bringing each relevant object up to the crib to be placed there and familiar songs and carols are sung. it is such a lovely service and Ketlebaston is a very special Church to have it in.
