During Advent we can do many things to help us think more closely about the
Christmas Story, connecting our lives to that of the birth of Jesus and that very first
Christmas. We may use Advent candles, Advent calendars, Advent Bible Study or
we may want to enhance others lives with acts of kindness.
Many of us will have already have been buying presents for our loved ones, or
thinking about where is the best place to give generously this Christmas.
I am hopeful that you may consider to give generously of some Christmas food for
the Pop-Up shop in Sawbridgeworth – to help families be able to celebrate well this
Christmas.
These are my suggestions:-
- Week 1: Soft drinks
- Week 2: Stuffing, gravy products
- Week 3: Christmas puddings, mince pies
- Week 4: Christmas biscuits and/or toiletries
Alternatively, you may want to make a donation to the Pop Up Shop at:-
Barclays Bank
Sort Code 20-36-98
Account Number 60798029
Name of account: Sawbridgeworth Congregational Church
Use ref: Pop-Up shop
This will call us to sacrifice some of our wealth but it will benefit others who are
struggling. St James church is open every day from 9.30 am to 4.00 pm for you to
bring food and place in the green box provided, and we will make sure this food gets
to the Pop Up Shop.

At the heart of our Communion service, also known as the Eucharist, is thanksgiving, we give thanks for all that God has given us in Christ.
At this service, we, as a community, gather to ask for God’s forgiveness for sins, to listen to readings from the Bible, including a reading from one of the Gospels, to hear a sermon from Rev Alison, and to come together in prayer.
We receive consecrated bread and wine and at the end of the service, after sharing refreshments, we go out into the world to live and work to God’s praise and glory.
We love to welcome anyone to our Sunday services so please do come along!
