Advent Sunday 2021

28/11/2021

0 Comments

 
Bishop Ross preaches for us today.  The general theme for the first Sunday of Advent is "hope."  Bishop Ross takes the angle of perseverance needed whenever hope and faith are exercised and needed as we go through this lockdown and the restrictions needed to fight the pandemic.

Parents, there are some children's activities on the children's blog.  Three sheets for today but three are for all of Advent: a Jesse Tree, an Advent colouring calendar and a cut-out Nativity.  The Jesse tree might be a good daily activity to do with your child(ren).

Do watch out for an email about next Sunday's service and how it will be held.  Vestry is meeting on Tuesday to discuss the application of the Diocesan policy for how we worship during the Protection Framework or Traffic Light system.
