Advent officially begins on Sunday 30th November and this period is one full of anticipation and expectation as we prepare for Christmas and remember our Lord’s arrival in Bethlehem as a baby and anticipate His second coming in glory as King and Ruler of all!
The parish church is holding a Christmas Fayre today (29th November) from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m., so you can call at our coffee morning and make your way there afterwards if you’re planning on doing some Christmas shopping!
Don’t forget that we are holding a Christian bookstall selling Christian books, CDs, gifts and cards after the evening service on Sunday 30th November. This is in partnership with the Christian bookshop CLC in Sheffield and is the ideal way to do some Christmas shopping without having to brave the traffic and crowds of Sheffield! Bibles, devotional readings for the New Year, testimonies and Christian music and gifts (eg mugs) will be on sale and this is a great opportunity to buy something which will last long beyond the chocolates and mince pies!
We have lots of special events coming up in December, so do keep listening and looking out for updates in the days to come!
