Occurring

St Mary's Church, Ellesmere
Address

On February 2nd we celebrate the story of the six week old Jesus being brought to the Temple by his parents. There he is recognised by Simeon and Anna as the one who will bring light to the nations. Traditionally candles were blessed on this day, hence its popular name. This year February 2nd falls on a Sunday, and so this will be our main 10.15 service.
