Advent Journeying

Wednesday 04 December 2024, Wednesday 11 December 2024, Wednesday 18 December 2024 Wednesday at for 30 mins
Witham: St Nicolas
Chipping Hill Witham Chelmsford, CM8 2JS, United Kingdom
A simple and reflective service held 8pm on Wednesday evenings during Advent. Making a time of stillness and calm amidst the hectic busyness of all our Christmas preparations

The church is in semi-darkness. We gather at the back of church. Together, holding candles and singing a Taizé or Iona chant we process together to the Lady Chapel. Here there are short readings, a hymn and a meditation or reflection: and then a time of quiet. We then process (singing) back to where we started.
