As I write this, we are in our second lockdown and worshipping together but apart as church services go online again. However, as you read it, Advent will have begun and we may be able to be back worshipping in person again although that is by no means certain.
This year, we are offering a Deanery Advent series thanks to Jill Tucker. We hope you will be able to join us from the comfort and warmth of your own home as we look towards Christmas.
Advent Evening Prayer: a gentle evening prayer for four Thursdays in Advent, exploring themes of Expectation, Hope, Promise and Comfort.
The fourth Thursday in Advent is Christmas Eve, so Evening Prayer that day will be especially for those who find Christmas difficult: a place where, among all the festivities we can bring our pain and hurt to God, and claim the supreme promise of Christmas, that of his presence and comfort in our lives and in our world.
Advent Evening Prayer will be at 7.30 pm, until about 8pm, on:
Thursday, December 3rd, Expectation
Thursday, December 10th, Hope
Thursday, December 17th, Promise
Thursday, December 24th, Comfort.
