This is the beginning of the Christian Year and marks the beginning of the journey of Mary and Joseph. The St Mary's Travelling Crib will start its journey after the 10.00am service, travelling from house to house around our church community.

There is a special Carol Service at 6.00pm.

During Advent, there will be a series of evenings of prayer and reflection [more...].

There is also a board at the back of church if you prefer to put up a card to everyone in the parish, making a donation to the charities above.
