A Christmas Journey of Music, Faith & Joy
As we embrace the joyful spirit of the Christmas season, our Parish invites you on a heartwarming journey of music, faith, and celebration. This year, we’ll explore Christmas traditions from around the world, with each service creatively titled after beloved Christmas hymns and songs.
Families will delight in events such as Twinkle Twinkle (Sing-a-long Carols), Away in a Manger (Crib Service), and Jingle Bells (Family Carols). These gatherings promise fun and festive joy for all ages. For those looking to immerse themselves in the Christmas spirit, we’ll be holding three Joy to the World services and our ever popular event O LIttle Town (Senior Carols & Afternoon Tea) ensuring everyone can partake in the celebrations.
Don’t miss our creative events like Shine Jesus Shine (Christingle) and Holly & the Ivy (Wreath Making), which will inspire and uplift as we prepare for the season. Throughout December, we’ll also host various other opportunities to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas, culminating in our much anticipated community event, Christmas on Mill Green, on Saturday 7th December.
Let’s come together as a Parish to celebrate the joy of this special season and share in the warmth and love that Christmas brings.
Devotions for Advent 2024
The Radiant Dawn
'You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger’
‘ You will conceive and give birth to a son…
‘And there were shepherds living out in the fields near by…'
Following the positive responses received from church members concerning Tom Parsons’ devotions for Lent this year, (‘From Glory into Glory’), we’ve decided to stay with the same author for our Advent studies for 2024.
The Radiant Dawn’ is a collection of devotions focusing on the opening chapters of Luke’s Gospel. Parsons guides the reader through the 25 days of Advent with readings and prayers, at times pausing for several days on one passage to peer intently into Luke’s best-known narratives.
Christmas lights may sparkle in the dark evenings we experience during the winter but they are taken down and put back in the box when January arrives. In contrast, Luke points us to Jesus, the Radiant Dawn of a day that will never end.
Let these Advent reflections direct your heart’s gaze towards Him, the shining source of confidence and joy in whatever darkness we may experience- now or in the future. Copies available now! Get yours from . £2 each.
