Last Sunday the third candle was lit for John the Baptist who was related to Jesus and who prepared the way for His arrival. He baptised people to wash away their sins, as we must ask God for forgiveness for ours. God sent His angels and ordinary people to spread the good news of Christ.
On Sunday, the last one before Christmas, we light the pink and fourth candle for Mary, the Mother of Jesus. It is also known as the angels' candle, for those who came to tell of the Saviour's birth.
This has been a week of carol services and parties and there's more to come too.
On Monday, there will be an Advent Fun Afternoon for children and their families at 2.00-4.00pm at St Mary's. Now school has finished why not bring the children along for fun and games, and to decorate the church Christmas Tree?
Carol Singing outside the Three Horseshoes turned out to be another cold weather pastime as it was last year. It was 1C degree this year! However, approximately 50 people braved the cold, dry weather to join us, and a collection was taken for one year old, Madison Sherwood, who needs full time carers. We wish all the best for Madison and her family.
