The season of Advent is here!

Yesterday we celebrated the first week of Advent - the Coming, by lighting the first candle on the Advent wreath for the Patriarchs. During this period up to Christmas we learn of the message of the Coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ.  He arrived in a time of global turmoil just like now and came with an important message to answer all our questions - Trust in God, our Heavenly Father who loves us all. 
Join us at any of our services to learn and give your heart to Him.

WANTED! Children to join our youngsters taking part in our Nativity Play at St Mary's Church on Sunday, 11th Dec. at 9.30am! Come along to practice on Saturday, 10th at 10am, or just turn up on Sunday. Parts for ALL the CHILDREN!
