Winter returns!
Can’t resist some early morning snowy pictures!
A light from the window
If you remember, earlier in the year the oldest window we have in church, the mediaeval monk’s window was removed, cleaned, repaired, and replaced.
We usually notice some colour, but look at it shining on the vestry door this morning! Beautiful!!
Children’s Activity Morning
Twenty children spent three hours at St Mary’s this morning and fun, games and craft. As well as meeting Charlie and Alice, playing Christmassy games and singing, the children made lots of different crafts.
These crafts included foam Christmas trees, candy canes, candles, Christmas cards and decorating Christingle biscuits. For display in church over Christmas, children each decorated a star which will go on a banner right above the choir stalls.
Advent Prayer Calendar
Today is Advent Sunday and the start of our preparation to welcome Jesus at Christmas. We have collated an Advent Prayer calendar which provides a thought, prayer or short Bible verse every day to prepare ourselves and consider the true meaning of Christmas.
If you weren’t able to pick one up from church, please feel free to download a copy by clicking on the picture below:
